5'2 and about 85 lbs - Help with board sizing and picking out a board?

Measurements
* Height: 5'2
* Weight: 85 lbs (I'm trying to gain weight, but I won't let that stop me from buying a board)
* Boot Size: 8 / 9 (depending on the boot)

Experience
I have been snowboarding for around 3 years now. I can do blacks just fine and am starting to do double blacks (going to Park City soon and am excited to go check out Jupiter Peak). I have rented boards this entire time and they have always been anywhere in between 140cm - 150cm.

Type of Board
*All-Mountain
*Flex Rating 5-6
*Should be able to butter well

If anybody could help me out with finding a board and a good size (or help with either one) that would be amazing, thanks!

P.S. My best guess for a snowboard size for me would be 145cm.

Gretchen is hot.

On another note, go do the bootfitting technique in the thread by wiredsport. Your foot may be smaller than you think. Apparently all dudes want to have the illusion of big ass feet and like wearing oversized boots...
