I'm 5'10" 170lbs and a pretty aggressive skier. I ski RT bulldog bindings. What length ski would I be better off with?

185 w/o question, as the others have already mentioned. I'd like to comment on Sandy's answer though: None of those things should affect your choice of length. An extra 4cm behind you won't make a difference in bumps, and an extra 6 in front won't make a difference in trees, no matter how tight.

I'd go with the 185. These skis are pretty light, and not very stiff. They also have some tip rocker to reduce running length and ease turn initiation. They're really easy to ski. I wouldn't hesitate about getting the 185.

I'd go with the 185cm unless you are a passionate lover of the trees, bumps or super tight turning. The extra length will give the stability at speed you seek, grasshopper! Enjoy!
