Light but wide deck

I've been riding for a few years now and my style has changed but I mainly ride flat and street. With some pyramids and airs thrown in here and there. I've owned an ultra pro, aos, tsi flight 19, nitro, phoenix 4.5, and i'm currently riding a district v2i. Note that I traded parts and such for the different decks that I've owned, didn't buy all of them. I loved the way the TSI felt with the 4.75 with concave that was perfect. I just hated the way it felt for flat and street. My current deck my v2i feels good but I feel that it is way to narrow for how long it is but i love the weight. I'm a bigger guy around 6 foot 175. I guess I'm looking for a nice decent weight deck that is wide and whips nice for street and flat.
I was thinking about these:
Proto 5.0 with 81.5 (don't like steep hta's)
Proto 4.5 with 81.5
Reventon 4.65
Stans Reventon 5.25
lucky evo 4.5 (good street deck)
Maybe even weight for the aos v2.

Any opinions or suggestions will help!
Thanks!

i'm 6'1 with size 11'5 shoes and i love my vertx 4.5, although i think stans or proto 5.0 would be SO nice, then i wouldn't heel drag by accident lol. idk if you have the money get the stan!

^^ thats what im worried about. Double whips flat are gonna be terrible. that's why im leaning toward the proto 5.0, renventon 4.65 or tsi flight again
