Tabou Rockets 95ltres are an easy board to gybe..I have a 2008 model ( they have double concaves .I think the earlier ones didn't.
The Jp is a similar style of board ( although not sure about a 2006 one) so should be user friendly too.

I have demoed a couple of fanatic hawks and found them to be very forgiving and easy in the gybe.

X-Cite ride will be the most forgiving board out of those two.

How far along with the gybing are you?
If you are just learning to gybe something with a bit more volume and especially width will give you the stability to wobble through your early attempts and progress faster. I'm thinking 110 -120L.
Once you are regularly completing over 50% go to the smaller board.
The smaller boards are easier to carve but harder to stay on through the rig flip and after.
