That's a tough one. Snowboard sizes are generally based on weight. Check out this site for a list of board sizes based on weight. http://www.alpineskicenter.com/snowboardsizes.htm
But since you're so tall if you were to get a board based on weight alone your center of gravity would be off. Also if you did the chin thing your board wouldn't ride well because you don't have the weight to back up an average 5'10" person.
If I had to take a blind guess I'd say 155-157. However I would say rent a couple times. Find a place that will let you change your board a few times during the day. That way you can see what's best for you and your style of riding (park is usually a shorter board,powder is longer) Another good thing to do is go to a demo day at a local mountain. For a small fee,and sometimes for free, board companies let you ttry out their boards all day. In addition to be able to see what size works for you, you'll have experts there to help you pick a setup.

I was told a snowboard should come between your chin and the bottom of your nose. Someone suggested a 156, that sounds about right. Best bet is just to go to a shop and size them up against yourself

You should buy a snowboard that is sturdy and strong enough for yourself as well as for your body weight and height.

156
A board should come up to your chin. Longer if you ride powder.
135 is a little light you think mix in some weights and a steak.
