ar7 because it is a little stiffer and you weigh over 200 pounds. Also if you are going to be doing a lot of skiing outside the park the ar7 will be best as it is a little stiffer and is camber. The domain will probably be too soft for you. I do not know much about the recoil. And I think the alpha will most likely be too soft.

Thats a good deal. Go for it! I have had the 2010 ar6 for 2 years and I love them. You won't be disappointed.

That sounds good. People might suggest going longer but I disagree. Im 6'2" and I have the 176 cm and they are fine.

Domains are solid for carving on groomers but in the trees/bumps/ungroomed runs I have found that they just kind of throw you around because they are a softer ski. I think you will find the same dilemma with alphas because of the rocker but I have no experience with them so dont take my word for it.
It seems like the ar7s/recoils would perform better on an "all mountain" spectrum because they dont have as much flex and the recoils also have the "all terrain rocker" which speaks for itself. They are all great skis though, good luck with your choice you wont be disappointed!

The recoil is rated higher for all-terrain here:http://www.theskimag.com/equipment/skis/twintips/. Another fine option would be the Kastle XX90 if you can get hold for it for a reasonable price. Please note that I did try neither of these.
