Burtons are good boards, but they cost a bomb, so keep hem for the real snow (Canada Japan, NZ etc) not crappy ozzy snow that trashes your base n edges.
My first board was a Palmer Clown (i think its called a Gap now)and it was fantastic, and its still one of my fav boards to ride. It lasted 3 Years of Aussie and Canadian seasons, and i still get it out occasionally for a bit of relaxed freeride, so i would have to say its the best value board of all the boards ive owned. My newest board is thr Palmer Honey Pro, Superlight base with Carbon Fibre tail for that extra snappy performance 
Rode a Burton for a while, and theyre an excelent board too, but they are the top end of the market, and your paying for the name as well as quality if you know what i mean.
Carefull of Burton Bindings though. A couple of seasons ago a few of my mates had them and they all failed on the wratchet mechanism thing a number of times each in the same season. It was such a common fault that all the Burton shops stocked spares specifically for warranty repair. They might have the bugs worked out by now though.
