Thalls seem like good skis for ya, and it does not matter the weight because it also depends on what binding your going to throw on them. Also they are pretty light skis so you should not have a problem.

size really depends on what you like. If you like to hold up on bigger jumps I would go with a longer ski, but you want to spin fast go for a shorter ski. And the best binding you can get is look pivots/ rossi fk's. and just a tip stay away from marker.

^ ignore that last post about bindings. Fks are good but certainly have there issues also there is nothing wrong with a good marker binding. Just another example of myths on this site.

Really look at axials, peaks, sth's, ect there are allot of good 12 din bindings which work just as well as the fks 140 but are cheaper

Jesters are not a shitty binding they are a 16 din binding. If you had issues I would guess you had them set up completely wrong if you just threw them on

You buy brakes, you don't have to send them in to Rossi, don't be a goon and get a legit bend jib and your chances of breaking reduce ten fold. Fks are the best bindings out there (155's) imo

That's the pint though Rossi won't sell you brakes. Get any other binding and you can buy brakes from pretty much any shop. Fks are great, dont get me wrong, but not so good that there flaws make them a no brainer.
