Replying to Street/Cruiser Skateboard Setup

NH_LiNe:
I used to street skate a little and for a period of time got more into longboarding. Life came and I got out of it in general, but I'm looking to get back into it again.

At this point I'm looking to just blend a bit of both. I'm looking to mostly cruise around town without it being the bumpiest ride in the world. However, I still want the freedom to ollie easily over curbs and what not/hit up the skatepark on occasion and maybe grind a few rails.

I had thought about the Arbiter DK (http://originalskateboards.com/longboards/arbiter-36-dk-longboard-skateboard) but I am thinking about maybe just building my own setup?

Do you all have any suggestions? Maybe like a 8.5" board, but would you recommend Indy 169s or Indy 149s? I was thinking something like 60mm wheels?

I'd appreciate it if you would post what you think would be the best setup for what I am looking to do.

Thanks!
