Get the 185 and mount the binding 1 or 2 cm forward of boot center if you are concerned with the length

I'm 5'7", 150 lbs and ride 185's with griffons and love them! They carve eastern hard pack better than any other ski i've ever owned and float nimbly through the pow and trees.

It depends how confident you think you'll be on a bigger ski. I'm 6'2" 220 and have a pair of 189's that will sometimes feel cumbersome. I think that since you are looking for something with all mountain performance that the 175 will be better suited for you.
