Mixed DIN Advice

I've been asking different shops and taking surveys to determine what I should set my DINs at, and I've gotten answers everywhere from a 5.5 to an 8.5. Please help!
I'm a 14 year old free skier who skis park competitively, but loves to hit the pow and cliffs a lot as well. For my all mountain powder setup, im running a set of Armada Invictus 95s with Rossignol FKS. I'm getting up to 150 lbs, I'm 5'7" or so, and I'm a very agressive skier when it comes to ungroomed terrain. I need to be able to drop >25' cliffs with these, and on my last pair (DINs were 5.5) my heel would sometimes release on landings of bigger cliffs.

150...5'7...25+ foot cliffs... and you're skiing at a 5.5 din? No wonder you eject so easily. I'd definitely consult your shop tech but I'd put you at an 7.5, maybe 8.5 considering you are putting a lot of down force on the tails of your skis when dropping cliffs

5'7" and 150lbs, but what's your boot sole length? Because the DIN will be different depending of that.
