Im planning on getting a pair ARV 96s with Salomon STH2 13s. Should I go with 90mm or 100mm brakes?

100 will fit great.

People here say you can stretch brakes a bit so 90 may be OK, but I'd personally go with 100 to avoid any hassle. Whatever your budget is good for.

I have stretched brakes on a pair. You can do it if you’re going to save money or something but if it’s all the same to OP, save the guy at the shop from having to bend em.

most brakes will work on 5-7 mm wider skis as well. have used 90mm look pivots on 96mm wide skis, and 90mm marker griffons on a 94mm ski (that has a lot of space left)

How do the sth’s work out for you, im looking to buy those as the exact same set up. If you use them in the park, do they seem heavy at all or is the binding height a problem at all bc i know they are a bit tall? Thanks
