I usually skate Antihero or Creature skateboards. What sells me is they offer a lot of skateboards in bigger sizes which I consider 8 or more inches of width. They have a lot of boards in the 8.0, 8.125, 8.25, 8.38, 8.5, 8.75, 9.0 size. Im used to the Antihero shapes so a new one is like an old glove to me. Personally I hate skinny boards. Any board on the wall at a reputable skateshop whether a blank or namebrand deck should do the trick for you though. They are all about the same.
