you are exactly my size. i dunno where you ride most, for me its mostly park and the occasional powder when we get it. the only thing i can say is you are probably going to want about a 160 to a 170. 170 is going to be a little big but it depends on what you ride. im riding a 160 but i would like to move up a little bit. give me some more information on where you like to ride, if you like stiff or soft skis or whatever and you will get more help.

ahaha wow i am rediculously stupid i didnt even see that you said you rode almost all park aha. well i would go with some ninthwards if i were you, but out of the skis you mentioned, both are going to be good for park. the armadas are obviously much more expensive, and i have heard of them having some edge problems and warrenty problems, so i would prolly choose public enemy's, although ninthwards are where its at.
