1) Try posting this question in the wingsuit forum a little farther down the page here at DZ.com.
2) Also, try adding some info about yourself, your wingsuiting experience and your goals over the next two years or so. It'll make giving advice easier and more appropriate for you.

Agree with both Butters & the Bird Doc.
Although there's one other factor - how big a boy are ya?
I fly a Shadow, because at 5'5" / 125 lbs, I had to fly with arms swept back in order to flock in a P2. A shadow better suits the middle of my range.
That being said, you can flock in either, or do acro in either. Jarno flies his Shadow quite a bit, and does just about everything in it. So unless you're really big and going to need the surface area, or really small and going to need less surface area, I think you can't go wrong with either.
