I have not tried the church boards before. But I do use the off-shore boards. They are little more expensive ($30-$35) but very well built and easy to hook up.
When I was looking into getting planer boards I had went online and looked for the best feedback on planer boards. Off-shore by far had the best feedback, so that is why I spent the extra. They last a very long time and you don't want to just settle if you don't like the board.
