Speaking from someone that currently owns 5 pair of skis... Ski selection is a personal choice. It really depends on two things.First, is your skiing ability. An example of this would be for a beginner skier, a softer, or more flexible ski might aid you in learning to ski better. Traditionally a stiffer ski for more expert or advanced skiing. Of course, just like everything their are caveats to this rule of thumb for specialized skis.
Secondly, you need to think about where, or better what type of skier you are. If you love powder skiing and live in the west you might want a wide ski with a decent flex. If you are a groomer rider, a ski that has a decent sidecut. Sidecut of the ski is the difference between the front / back parabolic measurement versus the measurement under the foot.
Your best answer, because the answer can't be written down in chart form, is go to a ski shop where ever you plan to ski most and answer these questions to a ski technician. They will charge you a little more for the ski, but will know how to fit you. You can always rent for the day before putting your dollars on the counter. Good Luck!
