Which one would be the best choice for an all around ski. I ski like 70 - 80 percent all mountain and like 20-30 percent park. Im 6'2" and 165 lbs.

the seth for sure. ive heard they can really rip in the park and they can rip on everything else unless you live on the east coast you might have some problems but theyd be great for the west.

Gotamas are by far the best choice for all mountain, but they aren't much of a park ski.  Seths are pretty good in the park, but on the soft side for all mountain.  Guns are a fun park ski, but unless you're really light they're too soft to charge on.  Personally, I would rock the Gotamas, but I never ski park--although I've seen it done on them.

Ok its really just between the gots and the seths which would be better, especially like in tight trees.

If you're doing 30% park you should definitely go with the Seths.  The Gotamas will also be a little slower in the trees; they're more of a big terrain ski.

Depends on what length you get.  I'd suggest the 189's, and they'd be good at about +3-4.  If for some reason you get the 179's, +3 should be good.

Seth's. If you wern't in the park at all(with these skis) I'd CERTAINLY tell you Gotamas. The occasional park stop with these warrants the Seth offering. Forget the Guns.
