I'll have to get back to you with some of my other answers, but I can hands down right now come out and say the worst performing board, I have experienced to date is Miggle's 620.
Getting back to you. Miggles Super Bowl board of a few years ago is OK, but it is NOISY, there are things to quiet it down and then it's pretty OK for a smaller board.
I have a vintage 620 from Tudor (early 1970's), it is really great.
My favorite as mentioned below too, is my vintage Chargers 308 from Reg Rutledge. I have seen and played on a Watts board as well as a Porche board, both great fields. The 308 is the one for me, based soley on the width of the field, it is wider and allows for some great running and passing action, plus playing at 3.3-4.0 weight it really makes for some excellent performing athletes.
I also have a vintage 510 from Tudor, a little green field I tweak and test on, another solid field.
If I were going to purchase a board starting out, I would buy one from a coach on this forum, that's the best way to guarantee you get a quality vinatge board. You can also score some nice vintage boards on Ebay, I have found some great fields on Ebay.
