C4 ATB or Hobie ATR - Durability

[Byrnesurfer]

Ok, I've narrowed it down and am looking at either a 10'6" Hobie ATR or 10'6" C4 ABT.  90% of my time spend on the board will be paddling the ICWW and the other 10% surfing.

Just curious which direction you guys would go?  The reason I ask is because there isn't much info on the Hobbies and I'm not sure how they'll hold up over the long term?
