Whatever's comfortable. It depends on what you're looking for- if you want freeride, go longer. If you want jib, go shorter. Or as most people do, it you want right in the middle then stay at your regular length or a bit longer. In general I'd say longer is better, but you know.... whatever feels right. Demo around a bit.

I second that. Probably look at 167-174 for designs or prices you'd like. Even if you go a bit longer or shorter, the effect it has on your skiing is barely if at all noticeable.
