Frankly, it's a piece of wood with a p-tex base and metal edges. It will slide on snow. Just find something affordable that's the right dimensions for your weight and level of ability and pay as little as possible.
Also, the further away a piece of gear is from your body, the less it impacts your actual experience. Boots? Super important. Bindings? Less important. Board? Least important.
This is sort of like a newbie golfer deciding whether to buy expensive golf balls. It ain't gonna make much difference, man.
