theguynextdoor0, its all about preference. if you are more comfortable with 2 fins then ride 2 fins. if you are more comfortable with no fins then ride no fins.... and also try riding 1 fin and see how you like that...
once you start riding more you will have more of a set opinion.
and welcome to ws.com

are flat land tricks such as BS shuvits and FS shuvits easier without fins..
and if i used one fin should i put in on the tail or the nose..?

if they are surface shuvits, you dont want fins. if they are popped shuvits, fins give you more control

It dosent matter becuase if you do a shuvit, it switches, but if you dont do shuvits yet, put it in the back |

then it doesn't matter what side you put it on. when i ride one fin i will usually have it in the front though cuz i usually dont ride fins. i just like having a fin for switch

theguynextdoor0, i rode the armada almost all last season and the channels in the board are plenty (stability wise) i'd say go finless with that board.
if it was a concave with no channels, i'd say go with one fin, but make sure you know when the fin is in back
