I've settled on this ski, but I'm not sure if i should go for the 168 or 174.  I've heard they're a little on the stiff side, does that affect size consideration?

I'm 5'10", 148lbs and I'm not going to grow anymore.

What do you think?

174 for sure. Especially if you're a confident skier or plan on being one in the time you own this ski.

Im about your size, and im on the 174, They are so light it makes up for the length, I would highly recommend them.

+5 is -1 from true center, thats the pipe mount, you get just that little bit more edge grip. I've skied mine at both, and I'd just go +6, +5 is so close that its just worth it to be at true center.
