I'm 5'10 and I'm going to purchase some new skis. I'm considering the volkl walls and intend to use them for mostly park skiing. should I go 169 or 177

I'd say 177...for symmetrical skis  a bit longer is good because you have more ski at either end of you, makes for better stability on landings and soesn't affect swing weight too too much.
