Just picked up some Megawatts. Are the split skins going to better skin for this ski than the standard full width skin. Like to hear from some with experience with the split skins.

Absolutely, the split skin will be better. With a ski that wide, you have got plenty of glue to keep the skins stuck on the ski bases. It makes a difference when you are on top of the that windy ridge trying to rip the skins off. Also it lightens up the skin quite a bit and makes it more packable, which makes a difference with something this wide.
