Choosing skis is like choosing a girlfriend - what works for one guy isn't the hot ticket for the other. What do you wish to gain that the stock skis do not provide? Every ski has its advantages / disadvantages. Some are great on the trail, some suck, some have very heavy steering, but total control. More info needed.
As for your question, I have run slydogs on the M-series, don't think they were any better then the stockers other then the fact they looked better...

i ran the slydog powder hounds on my 07 M8...i did actually notice that i had more control in the deep snow...was able turn just that little bit more...and a few times it was the difference between making it or not....

i will be pulling the slydogs off my 07 this weekend and putting them on the 12

I agree with Madman. The sly dogs seemed very predictable and loved the 8 inch in the powder. I run them on my M1000 and tried them this past weekend for the first time and they were way nicer on the trail and cut and held a nice sidehill.
