Hi Sal T!
We currently have two skaters on the 2009 Derby Pros, two on quad racers, and one on Black Widows. One of our coaches also skates quad racers. To the best of my knowledge, all of these skaters are completely in love with their Bonts. We had two skaters try the Black Widows and not like them due to fit issues around the arch and/or ankle. Unless you are a very specific type of skater (agile, light, upright) I would not recommend the Black Widows for derby. The derby pros and quad racers are fantastic, though.
The quad racers with the thicker leather option are possibly the best derby boot available right now. Be sure to send in a correctly done foot tracing for the best fit. Doc Sk8 can help you out with details. He outfitted most of our Bont skaters.
Good luck!
