i am thinking deciding between armada ar7s and ninthward hhps but I want to know what size I would be. I am about 6' or 6'1 so I thought 171 or 176s. Can anyone tell me if that is correct, and tell me which is the better ski

Alright thank you guys have been a huge help. But 1 quick question I looked at a pair of 171s and the were just at the top of my nose. Wouldn't 180s be a couple of inches over my head, and wouldn't huge skis effect your performance? ( I'm coming of 161s)
