Classic would be a good choice... medium (#6) flex with the shock absorbing boot board. If you want burlier buckles and some design in your boot a comparable boot would be the Konflict.

get Konflits if they fit and use the stiffer tongue, or get some old FT model and buy a stiffer tongue(8 9 or 10).  For real skiing soft boots suck, and for park the only reason to use a soft boot is that it is forgiving...which IMO teaches people bad form.  I have Solly Falcon CS Pros flex rated 120(stiffer than about any other brands 120, and stiffer than a Lange 135) and I put on boosters, which make them even stiffer.  Stiff boots destroy crud and charge better and have better control of the ski, giving you more "power".  If one FT doesn't fit non will, so go with another brand if they do not fit.

Just get what feels comfortable.
There's nothing worse than an uncomfortable boot.
But if you like them the classic is probably a good fit.
