Going crazy, need some ski help.

Alright so I'm shopping around for new skis for next year, and I really don't even know what ski I'm looking for.
I'm 5'11" 165. I ride about 60% park, 40% all-mountain (mainly east coast groomers). I was thinking a size around 176-180 CM. Currently I'm riding scratch FS's from 3 years ago.
I was thinking about Fugatives, but I'm hearing a lot of stuff about getting really noodly and losing camber really fast. So then I thought about PE's, and from what I hear it's a pretty heavy and flat ski with very little pop. I guess I'm looking for a ski that is in between this. I then considered scrarch FS WRS's, but I'm reading about some edge trouble people are having.
Now obviously no ski is perfect. But I just wanted to see if anyone had any input on this. Lately I've been kinda leaning towards STL's and AR6's but then again idk if I want to spend that much.

well i know nothing about moment but all i hear is how sick the ar6's are, personally i think you should get a little fattish ski like 98 waist that'd be killer for what you ride like the BC's or seth's
