Are these gloves good for snowboarding? Or will the get torn up too fast? Would it be better to go with something like the Burton Throttle (http://www.backcountry.com/store/BUR2297/Burton-AK-3L-Throttle-Glove-Mens.html)?

go for the throttles, im more a fan of synthetic shells on my boarding gloves...everything from grabs to wiping the powder out of your bindings really tests the durability of your gloves...and leather gloves just get torn up too easily. synthetic shells do the job better
