Good wood is ****, don't even bother with those. Just run whatever you're comfortable on. I ride a 8" enjoi or Real with indys, bones swiss ceramics, and bones 55mm SPFs.

well, I wanted 169s, but they were sold out, so I got these in stead. but I'm still thinking of getting 169s in the end

I just bought a smaller board as a spare & I'm sure those 149s will fit it nicely

Well... I've got a 7.75" wide board, and 7.5" Destructo's, and size 14 feet, and it fits me just fine. The place where the size really matters to me is more the tech side (I can't even kickflip because I'm not stable with the 45 degree foot position). Most people say wide decks are better, vert specifically, so I'd get around 8, or 9 inches... Lance Mountains Flip deck comes at 9 inches wide, with wheels wells. Put on some Auobahns, Khiro and Bones or whatever you like riding and your set to go!
