I want bindings that will last

i think bindings are a pretty personal thing

my turntables are still sick from 04

my px 12's/14's are sick

i like my barons, the griffin is kinda iffy imo

lower end marker is absolute garbage though
 
fks cost a little under 5 hundo though. id say griffons i still have mine and ive skid them hard for almost 2 years. no damage except usuall scratching. 4frnt deadbolts are also real sick. id go with one of those two.
 
If you buy the new ones, at retail prices. Who does that?

Get a used pair on NS for 150, they're just as good as the new ones.

IMO this is my binding ranking.

FKS/pivot series > tyrolia/head/4frnt/fischer peak 15/18 > griffons/jesters > px series (in terms of durability and reliable release)

Tyrolia makes some of the most underrated bindings on the market, just because everyone on your hill doesn't ride them doesn't mean they aren't quality. At your height and weight I wouldnt look at any 18 DIN bindings, I'd even be wary getting a 15 DIN, just make sure the DIN range goes down to what you normally ride at. honestly though, just get these

They also have 155's for 220 if you want the all metal toe but you probably don't need that.
 
I don't think you'll find a better deal anywhere else.
For your size & weight FKS 120's are the way to go, although it might be a good idea to look at the 155's since you're probably still growing. I'm 5'11 and 175lbs and i'm glad my binding goes over DIN 12 because for park that's what I ride it at.
They're pretty much bulletproof, at least the metal heel piece for sure is. If you fall landing switch you'll just have to bend the stopper back in place. No need to go back to the shop and change the stopper since when they're plastic they usually break/pop off.
I bought two pairs of 185's from my friend and I had an old pair of 155's, and i'm basically set for life with this binding set up.
