I have a pair

Buy them for your weight since flotation depends on weight displacement not as much other aspects.

If you are going to be doing hiking then calculate in average weight and buy one that allows for a +/- 25 pounds for camping gear if you are doing overnighters.

Design varies with what you want to do. Hiking up hills regularly is a different design than flat land shoeing and so on. It does make a difference so if You are doing all around then you buy a slightly shorter cut with the displacement you need.
