Dudek Freeway hard or soft?

I'm looking into a Dudek Freeway as entry way to Acro. More as an all purpose wing that can handle stalls and spins as well as ordinary flight.

Is the freeway considered a rigid or hard wing or is it also considered a soft wing?

And how does it compare to a Air G Emilie Peace?

Is the Emilie Peace a wing that is good for sustained flight like a freestyle wing?

Any ideas?

-Thanks

What freestyle wing do you recommend?

I want to start with acro, and then want a freestyle wing.
Im trying (and struggle) to find any good review's and recommendations.

I have looked:
Ozone Octane2
Airg Sophie high
(Airg sophie chill, coming soon, but not sure when)
Gradient freestyle 3
Icaro Aguila

My guts tell me that airg is good freestyle wings, but i also think the Sophie high is a little to aggressive.
So i hope the Sophie chill is coming with some info soon.

But i just have my guts to follow because i cant find anything about those wing...

Base vs Skydiving reserve for cutaway harness

I have a new 2015 Avasport Acro Base harness and need to get a canopy for it. From talking to a few people and reading up, it seems that a large skydiving reserve may be suitable as an alternative to a BASE canopy. I would like to know what considerations there should be in making this choice, particularly what the disadvantages of using a skydiving reserve are. This is my current understanding of the pros and cons of a skydiving reserve:

Pro:
Lighter & smaller pack volume
Cheaper and easier to find
