question Which Creeker do you feel the safest in? New

From: Sentinel

I would like to know what is the best creeker that can run the biggest baddest creeks on the planet, while also being the safest. I keep hearing about how tough and durable Eskimo and Bliss Stick boats are and how the Jefe is the great one. I have also seen Nomads perform in some of the sickest creeks imaginable. I am looking not only for a boat that can handle the fun stuff, but a boat that can handle the bad situations as well. Which boat is the easiest to escape out of in a vertical pin or which one would be less likely to fold.  I would appreciate any and all inputs on this subject.
