RAE0008, the Ronix Bill is a solid board, at 150 lbs a 142 is way to big. I would think around 136, I'm 180 lbs and ride a 138.

At 150 I would suggest the 138.

Is the ronix parks modello board better?

There is no such thing as "better." It depends on which board suits your riding style.

Well I like a quick board, but more importantly, I like alot of pop... I was also looking at the CWB transcend

I have both boards and absolutely love them. The Ronix Bill and Ronix Parks ATR are fantastic boards for anyone just starting out to throwing out insane tricks. For your weight I would definitely go with the 138 Bill or the 139 Parks.

The Bill is going to be a faster board and will get you farther out into the flats. It still gives you a lot of pop because the rocker is turned up so much on the tip and tail and with its more continuous rocker shape is has super smooth landings.
The Parks will be slightly slower in the initial edge but will deliver a lot of power into the wake launching you straight up in the air but more of a wake-to-wake type of board.

I really don't think you can go wrong with either board as they are both tons of fun to ride. If you want an amazing all around board go with the Bill. If you want something to get you snap off the wake and lots of air go with the Parks. The 2013 graphics looks sick!!!
