182, no question
the 1260's are mad light too, which will make the bigger ski even easier to use

get the 182's. they're shorter than you think.... the 182's are actually only 178 if you measure them.

plus they're so friggin light... they ski like such a shorter ski
when i was much smaller, like 160 cm, i switch for just one run from 165's to 182's or whatever, and i honestly had absolutely no problem, even the first few seconds on them
