now this is just from what I hear, but I've read that both are very good. Light weight, lots of pop, both have lots of feel and response. Me personnally I like the Custon even though I never rode either one of them. But really you can't go wrong from what I can tell in going with either one of them.
Both companies, Burton and Palmer, have great reps of making great boards. So you know which ever you get you'll have loads of fun

here is the scoop. Both are similar in how verastile they are. the burn is a little torsionally stiffer, so it will hold a better edge at higher speeds, but stiff has pop and flex for jibs. if you are agressive (haul ass, hit big jumps, ride pow hard) you will like the burn better. i think is still soft enough for jibs (maybe not a street handrail though). the custom will do all the same things, but it will work a little better at slower speeds. it is not quite as stiff as the Palmer. the burn is still softer than the sustom x. it is inbetween the stiffness of the custom and custom x
