I'd say go for something in between 178-185 because when you centre them, they will feel shorter.

Upper 170s. If you get short skis, you'll regret it when you get good.

Don't center mount, mount at recommended. And also get a ski between 179-185.

Look into something like Rossignol Scratch or Sprayer, or some Armada AR7s
