I'm still clinging to the turntable heel Look/Rossignol race binders from the 90-2006. It just sits so flat to the ski and I've NEVER pre-released. I absolutely cannot say the same for any other binding. I've skied several of the same skis in both bindings. Look/Rossi just feels closer to the ski and much more balanced.

The Look P12 Pivot from 3+ years ago, but that won't help b/c they don't make them anymore, it's a damn shame too...

I'm still trying to answer this very question myself, but in the meantime I'll be reusing my old Looks.

I have the old Rossi ones, the not yellow ugly ones but hte ones after them and they seem good.

I find the best bindings I have had are the one with the three releases thing in your toes where you can move your fooot a little in the bindings and the spinning heel piece seems to help landing switch. Though they're pretty expensive.

well you definately won't find any FKS bindings for sale there. if you do they'll be attached to a race ski and you'll be paying $300+

the thing i dont liek about markers is that there are only 3 screws in the toe, at least to my knowledge, and they are all behind the toe piece. doesn't look very stable. i have used them before but i dont like that teh screws are not farther up like salomon and look bindings

ya all three screws are behind the toepiece itself on that model.  I really dont trust 3-holes in the toe, especially the salomon slider piece

for park Pivot 12/FKX 120 bindings, verticle release isn't always bad.

for all mountain/big mtn the all metal look pivot 15 or 18.

or the FKS 155 or 185.
