well the JO pro is stiffer then the anthem and much narrower as well
if ur more into jumpin the JO are amazing
if u like the feel of a fatter ski and do more jibbs then jumps the anthem is very nice

as for length id say go 160-170 depending on if ur centre mounting, ur ability, and preferance
if ur a better stronger skiier and/or centre mounting look at the bigger side of the spectrum

I'm having trouble deciding for next year too. My chronic wides are beat up, way too much. I'm pretty sure I'm buying anthems though.

Dont know too much about The JO pros

Anthems ive researched up on a lot and they sound pretty sick, ive heard a lot of great things about them especially in the park.
