Could I ski a 120mm all day everyday no matter what the ski pack is like or would I be better off which something like a 110mm I prefer the look of wider skis but I guess I should take into consideration how useful they'll be

Probably should take into consideration how useful they’ll be , if there guna be your only ski then go with 110 in my opinion.

Depends on the ski.

My YLES were probably the most versatile ski I've ever been on, and those were 118mm waist. Next versatile ski for me would probably be the Kartel 106/108... maybe the Jeff 114.

This year I'll be on a pair of Inthaynes (122 waist), and even though they're still 4FRNTS like the YLE and only 4mm fatter, I have a feeling due to the shape that they won't be near as versatile, but I'm hoping I'm wrong cause I really wanna ride them AMAP (as much as possible).

Been there....its fun! But a 110 is usually much more practical for all conditions....what skis are you looking at?
