I've got a Predator, it's a pretty progressive shape, great fun in solid or sucky waves, but I don't think I'd want it as my only longboard, even if the waves were solid all the time, sometimes it's nice to go and cruise, and the Predator is quite twitchy. Great board though, but maybe as part of a quiver, unless you're only interested in giving it heaps off the tail.

Don't know without having a look. Probably the HIC, it's got the width, but that's a personal preference.
