any kind of look/rossi turntables. the newer ones arnt my fav, but some of the mid 1990's are super dope. you kinda have to know some stuff about bindings to make sure the older stuff functions rights, so unless you do, i wouldmt recommend them. however, the  current FKS/turntable 120s are pretty nice. as are the older look/rossi pivots (before the PX crap, which, i really do not recommend). if youve got the mula, the jesters seem alright. higher end salomons are good, but your really either a salomon or look/rossi guy, and i personally am not a huge fan of the big S

Tis true that that FKS series, or Look p18 have the best release mechanism and are the most durable.  I really want to try the Jesters because I can't endorse them until I ride them, but everyone says good things.  But I wonder if those comments are just from people who are older groomers and pow runners who ride their Bridges outside the park only.

I have never been a huge fan of the Salomon pre-release, but the 916 and sth series definitely get the job done.

I looooove the Jesters.  I have them on my Bacons and they are great in pow, and groomers are great as well.  In park though....very good, super light and never pre-release.  Just a great binding.  I haven't skied them enough to know about durability but they seem pretty bomber (not like the older metal stuff obviously but still...)

Also the Mojo 15's are dope ass bindings.  I have them on my Anthems and love them

I had px12's on my Fujatives last year and they were dope.

I wanna try the Salomon STH series sometime too.

Would be good to back that comment up. Are you saying that ALL Salomon bindings have too many problems? If so, what problems are there with the top end models?

sorry i had some s912s TI and the wings get loose very easily, then the back peice is rail mounted and the rail is bent on mine and the breaks got so destroyed i had to take them off because they would make my ski fall off

salomon z12s are an awesome balance between performance, weight and durability if you weigh 150 pounds or less. they are really really light, they have only prereleased once on me in about 90 days of use, and the auto toe adjustment is a really nice feature after having had s912s.

but if you're over 150 pounds, you might stomp through them. maybe check out the sth series?
