ok well chronics and PE's are the stiffer of those, and you could go with 172 chronics, and 169 or 174 PEs.

If you feel longer will be better, get 177 chronics and 174/179 PE's.

everything you just said = chronic. a little more stiff, but light, very poppy, very thik bases/edges, and can take everything.
