But...
With your long legs you would be more comfortable spinning long cranks rather than short ones.
Longer cranks give you more leverage and higher torque so you can turn a higher gear with the same force. Check out Sheldon's Gain Ratio calculator.

The longest normal crank is 175mm but you can find 180 and higher if you look hard
