I would suggest the Blends, but with you being smaller I would go with the Chronic. I have heard from a friend that its an amazing ski that is stiff enough for things like jumping cliffs but its still good in the park. This is from a friend though and I have no experience with the Chronic.

The blends are pricy, I was thinking the Atomic Punx, Line Travleing Circus Skis, Armada Thalls, or Scott Punishers. Which of those do you think is the best?

first of all punx are like $600
second almost all of those skis are noodles by the end of the season.
scotts being the exception. ish.

you want something stiff so you dont wash out of your cliffing.

You have clearly done very little to no research on those skis. Punx and TC's are super soft. They'll wash out. Armada Thalls and Atomic Punx are expensive as fuhh'. Blend or Chronic would be your best bet IMO. If you do mostly park, get the chronic over the blend.
