Replying to PE's or STL's

Iv'e got a choice right now between used PE's and STL's for about the same price.

I'm 5'9" 160lbs.  Would these size ski's be okay for me (177 stl, 179 PE)?  I'm not that great of a skier but am hoping to get better.

Between these two, which would you chose?  The STL's come with axial's whereas the PE's come with axium's, which I know aren't as good.

Thanks!
