171 I'd say. Depends if you like longer or shorter skis. These are wider than most park skis, so you should be fine on the 171. I'm 6' and have 178 invaders, and they feel about right, so a fatter ski in that length could potentially dominate you.
Personal preference, though.

I haven't tried a bigger ski than 161 cuz both of my ski's, invaders and anthems are 161, and they are sexy fine.

Get 178, I think they feel way shorter then they really are especially when you go no poles. I think so at least, but it's the sickest ski ever!

These are going to be center mounted so they'd feel a little shorter then a normal ski or more than likely previous park skis you've rode. So I'd go with the 178. I'm a hefty short kid, like 195 lbs 5'8'' and I wish I got 178s instead of my 171 invaders.

How about we all ditch this type of skiing and do some snowblading with gaper gear. We'd be the coolest cats on this hill.

oh shit yeah that's what I meant, get the 178s. I rock nordica enforcer skis that are 177s, and they are sick. I can still spin fast, cork, butter (harder but they're medium-flex skis and big on me, and not center mount), etc. Anthems would be only 1 cm longer and center mounted, which make them feel shorter...and they are uber soft. So they would be a dope park ski.
and like I said, I'm 5'8" and 135-140 lbs.
