well it depends what sort of skating you're doing. street; I find it's easier to use a thin board like a 7.5inch wide with small wheels like 50-55mm. ramp/vert; usually bigger like 8inch wide with big wheels like 55-65mm. length; Compare the skater’s height to this chart: Under 4’ = 29” or smaller. 4’ to 4’10” = 29” to 30” long. 4’10” to 5’3” = 30.5” to 31.5” long. 5’3” to 5”8” = 31.5” to 32” long. 5”8” to 6’1” = 32” to 32.5” long. Over 6’1” = 32.4” and up. remember you should ride a board that you are comfortable with because when i first started i used a 8inch deck for street skating thinking it would be easier to flick and land tricks but i found out that i was wrong. most street skaters find thinner boards are easier to flick and land on than wide decks are. hope this helped.

Yes because expensive skateboards are made with better materials that last even longer than the inexpensive ones.
