Like others have said, talk to your coach and fitter--but I'm inclined to say, seriously consider the Competitors. I got new boots back in the summer, and although I'm no longer testing (did that as a teen--had my fill!), I was pretty solidly at the ISI Freestyle 1 level--waltz jump and half jumps. Just going by the ratings on Jackson's website, I would have put myself in a Freestyle, but I went to a master fitter who put me in Premieres. He said I would break down Freestyles and Competitors too quickly. I'm about 5'6"/165 lbs. or so--so, not exactly a lightweight! If you're not... petite, you'll need a stiffer boot to support your weight. The other factor to take into consideration is how hard you skate. I tend to put a lot of power and muscle into everything, and that will break down a boot faster than someone who skates lightly. I was a little surprised to be put into Premieres, since they're rated for axels and beginning doubles--and at the time, I was just getting ready to start my toe loop and salchow--but I've had them for a little less than 4 months, and they definitely not too stiff. I'm pretty much at the ISI Freestyle 3 level right now, and they're just right. I actually would not want a less supportive boot. The Premieres were insanely stiff when they were new, but now that they're broken in, they're wonderful. The stiffness ratings on Jackson's website are more for kids/very petite skaters. So, a boot made for someone who's 65 lbs. and doing an axel is not going to hold up nearly as well for someone who's 165 lbs. and doing an axel.
