Firstly we need your weight, height, skier type and terrain you ski on.

155 is a tad short..maybe like a 166 or a 170 would be better.

Invader maybe? They come in a 171 and you said you did lots of rails..Invaders are good on jumps up to like 30 feet. If you are looking for a stiffer ski you could check out the Chronic.

depends on your skiing style. for rails, shorter skis, but invaders are light enough that you could go longer without much of a difference on rails

long ski steeeeze???

go with 161 invaders if you'll be doing a ton of switch ups and getting technical on rails.
go with 166 line invaders if you're gonna be doing big jumps and stuff
