Go with the thall. The ski is softer and will be much more fun in the park, especially since your aren't a big dude.

lf your skiing 90% park then the Thall and Ar7 are your top two choices.  I would say if you ski more rails and like doing butters and such get the Thall, if your more of a jumps person, and l mean larger jumps, then get the Ar7's.  I've never ridden Ar7's, but I've ridden Thalls for a good two years and I really enjoy them, awesome rail skis, can butter the hell out of them, but I wish l had a bit of a stiffer ski when it came to hitting larger jumps, really anything over 25ft.

i have the ar7 and they are super awesome on all jumps and they hit rails just as well. i can do some buttering with them but im also 40 pounds more. heard the thalls are really sick in the park as well and i've seen tons of people take them off big jumps but never asked if they are too sketchy or not

halo is a very playful ski for sure with its park rocker but i personally hate rockers on jump over 10 ft and i would never take them in the pipe but thats just me

I have never had any experience with armada, but if you can find a dealer k2 domains are incredible and IMO a way better deal.

Since you're lighter I'd go thall, if you were bigger I'd say ar7.

Thall is not the same as the ar7, if he got the ar7 he couldn't press it like he could the thall which will still be plenty stiff for him on jumps. I wouldn't go with the rockered skis if it's only for park unless you ski in cali
