Burlier everything, including bearings. Except, as I mentioned, SC will send you fresh bearings if yours get fubar'd. Still, if you ride the park a lot, no question you should have a dh bike. Also, be careful about Enduro racer comparisons. Yes, their stuff holds up to a lot of abuse, but they also have the luxury of access to a lot of spare parts - in between days if not always stages. You'd be shocked at how much shit they go through. Read Cam's pieces from the Whistler EWS - [this one](https://nsmb.com/articles/jesse-melameds-winning-ews-bike-compared-remi-gauvins-5th-place-ride/) about Melamed and Gauvin's bikes, and [this one](https://nsmb.com/articles/wrenching-out-win/) about shadowing their mechanic, Jeff Bryson, for race day - the race day when Jesse won, by the way. Just a taste.
