I am 5'10'' and 160 pounds. Should I go with the 178 or 184 Bacons for all-mountain and a little bit of park? These will be my first non-rental skis. I heard they run short so i don't know which ones to buy.

For sure 184. I'm 5'11" and a bit of a heavier guy. I have no regrets about my purchase and absolutely love them.
