when it comes to weight which type of skin would be the best for a larger skier? At 6'5'' and 235 lbs + pack weight im a big skier, are there certain skins that would work better than others?

No, weight doesn't affect skin performance. Just look for a set that will fit your skis width wise, trim to fit and you'll be good to go. If anything you'll have an advantage on a slicked out skin track--more weight means more stick in the snow.
