If you don't mind a ski that is really soft and performs best exclusively in pow, then go with Bents. If you want something a little bit stiffer that will be better on firmer snow and all around the mountain, go with Obsethds.

at 5'3" you may as well get the obsethed.  they're going to be a lot easier to handle and they're way better for all mountain.
