Need help with ski length and model please

Looking to update my stuff this year. I need something for the park that is wideish underfoot. Any recommendations? Model? Length?
I am 5'8" 125 Lbs. Female
I currently have a pair of 2014 Afterbangs in 177cm and 2011 Prophets in 176cm.
I ordered a pair of Blends in 171cm and am experiencing some buyer's remorse at the moment...
Should I size up to 178 or go with something else altogether?

Lol I’m gonna sound like that dude but Vishnu’s wets are fire for park and I’m your height and weight and have 177s
note: underfoot is not very wide but still a good ski for park and urban

On3p Jessie 102 or 96, maybe the Magnus. Those could be good options but someone that knows more about them should chime in.

For a park ski 172 will be a great length. I'm 5'10" and I ski a 175 in the park

171 should be fine. My gf is 5'7 and skis on 170. I'm 5'10-11 and ski on 178 Blends. They're soft and pretty light, so far I like them. Plus they're true to size, so a 171 will really be 171, not like the afterbang where a 177 is more like a 174.
