I would go with the 25"er. This will give you all the float you'll need.I think it should be stated that 25 inch snowshoes are very bad for a 180 pound person breaking trail. If you are coordinated and physically capable of breaking trail, I would recommend 30 inch snowshoes mimimum. I am 6' 1 and weigh 165. I use 25 inch snowshoes for firm conditions and 36 inch snowshoes for trail breaking. Personally, I wish there were bigger high tech snowshoes available. I see gv has a 12x42, but haven't seen a picture to know if the binding sits in the middle for a well balanced snowshoe, which I think is important when you want flotation, but I digress.
