pretty interesting to see the ratio...

I am 5'11"  and I am debating between 42" or 44".... I have never taken pole size consideration until now as you can tell.

6'3, and I'm using 42 or 44 right now can't remember which. I usually rock 46 but thought I'd try out a little smaller. Oh and I have Cold Poles that you can fill up with liquer for pow/fucking around days and those are like 55 or something, whatever my recommended height is. They feel massive though.

Well it all depends. For park shorter poles are nicer and for other stuff longer is better. Just depends what you're doing.
