ar6 would be a good choice. ive never skied it but my friend has them and loves them. i had PEs last year but i found the a little stiff for the park and i dont know much about the foils.

Thanks for giving us information to work with.

The three skis you mentioned are all in the same class, but I would eliminate the PEs right off the bat because you are lighter and the PE is a heavier ski.

The AR6 and Foil are about the same, but the Foil has more sidecut.

^^^ they foil is also stiffer, and a tiny bit heavier. i ski about the same stuff as you and i was torn between the ar6 and the dumont, i got the dumont because i preffered the sidecut, but since they dont come in your size until next year, i would say ar6 for sho.
