The first generation I-Lock was craptacular. The inserts stripped super easily and they had issues with sliding or popping off the board. I had a few friends who went through 3 or 4 boards on warranty in the first few seasons of the I-Lock. The newer stuff seams solid enough, one of the guys I ride with has been riding his hard for 2 seasons now and it's held the test of time.

I have been riding on a Forum Peter Line for the last 2 years and liked the board a lot, maybe a bit too stiff but it handles well almost anywhere, in any condition. It has held up quite nicely to the abuse too. I just recently crushed the base a bit (it's feelable with my fingers but otherwise unoticable) but I would have damaged any board I think... I was surprised that it didn't break in half or that the edge didn't crap out from the impact. I too will get something else next season... not because I'm not happy with Forum, just to try something else.

Rome boards have a very good reputation and are loved by the people who ride them. Option, I don't know. I will myself get a Lib Tech...
