The good news is that you don't really have to worry about buying a specific bow for that draw length - all modern compounds are adjustable, usually from 26-30" or some up to 32".
Personally, I'd recommend you buy a 70lb bow, then set the draw weight at 60lbs. At 155 and 6'1", you're skinny, but you have leverage on your side. Most guys can handle 60lbs very comfortably, and having a 60-70lb bow will give you an option to go up as your technique improves.
Oooh, I forgot... The BOWS!!! I'm a big Bowtech fan, and the Assassin is a great bow.
I'm not entirely sure if my shoulders account for much of my wingspan or not. As soon as I find a tape measure I'll figure it out.
So, starting at 50# would be a good bet. Is the bow tech assassin easy to adjust draw weight/length on? And have you ever shot it?
Sorry for all the questions. I just want to get it all right the first time
