Hmmm thats hard, cause a lot of these haven't had many reported breakages. But I'll order them how I perceive them.

1: Flight (81)
2: Orion (83 or 81.5)
3: Madd (81.5)
4: Lucky (82?)
5: Phoenix (82.5)
6: District (81)
7: Razor (81)
8: Slamm (80)

don't worry about how strong decks are, buy a deck for how it performs, and the price will reflect the strength, yeah districts break easy but they're 90$
just something to think about, and you might want to consider lower bars if you break headtubes a lot
 
i swear its only yanks that hate madd gears... most of them have never actually ridden one before as well, honestly i prefer phoenix decks over madd gears coz there lighter and just the feel, but madd gears are stronger for sure

To be honest all decks seem to feel the same to me. I'd just like peace of mind that it won't break. =/

it looks like a ridiculously cheap rip off of phoenix decks. for that just get a phoenix deck which is heat treated, shot peened, and under warranty.

i love how i looked everywhere and they dont even tell you the dimensions of the deck.

Only two that I would feel completely safe from breakage on.

And Orion's are far stronger than Madd Gear scooters. Every version of Madd's scooters has broken. There's what, one report of a trashed Orion? And for the record, zero trashed Flight's.
