I'm not gonna give you my "opinion", since really no one has skated both those exact setups, therefore can't accurately tell you which is "better" (which by the way, is purely speculative). Instead, I'll give you the information that I have learned about those setups, and let you make a more informed choice. Really, the two setups you have listed here comes down to weight and lean. With Rollerblade boots, they weigh ALOT more, and the angle of the cuff tends to force you to put alot of weight on your heel, so you're slightly leaning back. I have a pair of RB Alpha boots, that I use for vert just for this reason. The Xsjado are MUCH lighter, and tend you have you leaning FORWARD more. Definitely good for grinds and the like. It all comes down to personal preference... If you want a pair of heavier blades, go with the first setup, lighter, go with the second.

I skated xjsado basic boots with ground control di frames for about a year. For me I didn't like how strap locks you in at the heel, different then regular skates. go with some nihms and the chicks will be all over you.

the xsjados are going to be way better. if you want to play it safe and save some cash i would get some genysis boots. really solid with moderate flex. they will last longer than xsjados too. xsjados get floppy after a while but they are still good skates
