After renting and borrowing many different kinds of snowboards, I would have to say that Burton is a great brand whether you're just a beginner or you are more experienced.
I've used the same Burton board for 7 years. It's lasted that long and it's still in great shape. I don't get a new board every couple of years just because with such a great board, I don't feel I need to. Anyways, it's just my opinion but my Burton board has been with me through the good and the bads and it's managed to survive which is why I love it.

Depends on what kind of rider you are and how experienced you are. Personally I like Burton's above the rest, but Elan Snowboards are good, along with Sims and Rossignol. I'd check them out. And come winter, your local snowboard/ski shop would let you demo them. Then you can see what your preference is. Good luck.

Whatever that feels good underneath your feet. I personally use a Rossignol. For beginners, I would recommend that you demo (if possible) or buy an entry level board that is not too rigid or flex which allows you to do both freeride and freestyle riding. If possible, buy a good set of bindings. You can re-use your bindings later on a new board later.
Lastly, pls get yourself a lot of protection, at least for your buttock/spine protection and a helmet if you do freestyle. You will thanks me later.

Get a Burton. I have a 2006 Burton Custom X. It's really nice.

Are you tall or short? How much is you weight? Are you new or a expert? Where do you ride? How often? In what kind of snow?
You have to go to a good store and they will help you!!!

Well, personally I have a Sims. Other good ones are Burton, Rossignol, Nidecker, and Ride.
