I just did what you are going through. I am 5'10" and 140lbs, here is what I found...

my first gi was a krugans A2, this fit great, but was short in the arms and legs.

tried a HCK double size 5 jacket and 4 pants. the size 5 jacket was huge, way too big. the size 4 pants fit in length nicely, and are just a little baggy.

ended up with an atama gold weave size A2. this jacket and pants fit me perfect. length in arms and legs are great. the jacket fits great in the shoulders, and is just a little baggy in the chest. the atama has a longer skirt, which I did not like, so I took it in and had it shortened.

I think an A3 with be way too baggy for you.
