I'm looking at ordering the Volkl Wall I'm 5 8' and weigh 54 Kg. Ski pretty much everything including park.

Would this be a good choice?

Whoa, didn't really do the math on your weight... 54kg is about 120lbs. The Wall is a pretty stiff ski. You may be a bit light for them. But, if you like a stiff ski, then I would recommend them.

For reference, I'm 5'9" and 175lbs (80kg), and I ski the 177, which is perfect for me.

The Wall is a great all mountain ski.  It's relatively stiffer than most skis of its size so it holds up well all over the hill.  For your size, it'd make a pretty good one ski quiver.  If, however, you hit up the park a lot and you really like buttering and messing around, these will probably be too much because you're kind of light (no offense).

I think the word you are looking for is a ski with soft flex. The last 2 seasons I have skied Line Invaders and Atomic Punx, both of which are quite soft and just in general a really fun ski.

Maybe look at the Line Anthem too. They might be perfect for a guy your size. Same ski as the Invader, but 93mm under foot.
