i'd say go for 171 at your weight and height it will be easier to throw the smaller ski around.

you can always make a long ski ski shorter, but you can never make a short ski ski longer

178 or plus
im 5 ' 10" and ski the 181 t-halls
the invaders are a symmetrical ski and are made to be center mounted. After u center mount a ski it makes it feel a lot shorter so definitely go with something 178 or +

thanks to all karma to all
the thing is, will I be able to flex/butter the ski good with a 178 with my weight?

the invader is a pretty soft ski, you wont have a problem with the 178

Im your same height and used 178 Invaders....but I also weigh 170 lbs.  With your weight Id say 171, but since the are centermounted it may seem way too short at 171.

Honestly I think with your size you can go either the 171 or 178 I think its more if you like a shorter or longer ski.
