New deck. Help?

Alright, so I've been skating for about 5 or 6 months now on an el cheapo board I got from Big W (although it's uber customised now). I'm getting a good deck soonish, but I still can't decide which one to get.
My friends boards I've tried are: Rayne Hellcat, Rayne Demonseed, Landyachtz Evo, Omni Drop Speed (or something).

Earlier I WAS leaning toward a Rayne Nemesis but it put me off that it seemed to be just a smaller Demonseed. I really don't like the Demonseed. So if not a Nemesis I'll probably end up with an Evo.

Any comments etc. on Nemesis if anyone's tried it?
I'm into DH and freeride.

Thanks.

My friend got an Omni Drop and I hate it compared to my other friend's Evo. There's practically no concave, and being so low without a concave makes it fail at cornering.

i got an omni and a evo and i love my omni drop 43' to death for freerideing its a fairly good dh deck, if its your first board get an omni as your going to smash it up abit, the omni will hold up anything your going to do dh wise for a while yet, personally i would set it up with randals and some powerballs, its what i ride on my one and its just perfect

its all personal, i dont like my evo when i gotta turn right upright on it compared to my omni, i also find it alot better to check slide and drift on

You set your evo up with 35 degree trucks. Of course it's not gonna turn.
