Re: your dh setup
Griptape finally made it & I had the chance to try it out on a fast hill last night, there was a nice tail wind too, probably hit just about 40 mph. Board felt very stable, yet still going exactly where you point, its also very responsive without that twitchy feeling that you sometimes get. Carves easily into sweeping curves, my first time riding a top mounted drop down deck, now I know why this shape is so popular!!
May drop in some softer bushings as the pink venoms on the bottom may be a little too hard.
Now...... Munkae's or Kooky's ???

Sick board, I would go with the Kooky's, but the Monkae's look nice also.

Khiros are awesome, sure venom are great bushings, but I actually prefer khiros in some of my setups

Well yeah, everyone has their own opinion but venoms do turn better/sharper and have more rebound.

Being able to coleman/slide at running speed comes with commitment to the slide, not bushings.

Re: your dh setup
I've got a Landy Top Wedge coming in friday. First DH board! I've got some orange InHeats I'm gonna throw on it, but I'm still thinking about what trucks and bushings. I probably won't be going over 45. Anybody got ideas for me? I'm like 175 lbs.

40*bears or 42* randals would work well on that board. Change the stock bushings and you have a board that can carve a hill or bomb a mountain.

I'd suggest getting 42 randals or crails all around my friend. Maybe grab some 90-93a venom elims/barrels and you'd be set!

Crails will require some sanding/ filing to fit the DW.
....its worth it tho. 
I liked Tracker Fastracks in there too.
