I ride the Gonzalez and I love it. I rode an 03 premier (wasnt mine) a bunch last season and I loved it. I also couldnt demo anything but hyperlite, and I kinda wanted to check out another brand. But I heard that they are basically the same boards, which is true, so I went with the Gator. But personally, I think the Gator rides a little faster and pops better. Never rode the Absolute, but I can name about 10 guys on this site that swear by it.
