I'm around 150 pounds and ive gotten the Marker Griffon on my hellbents and their awesome. I'd reccomend them or the Jesters. Or you cant go wrong with the Look/Dynastar PX series,but ive heard some problems with the plastic heel piece,so go with the binding that has the Titanium heel piece,its bomb proof.

Forget the markers.  Go with something tried and true:
Sth16/916
px15
Mojo15/tyrolia equivalents
I would say fks, but the tiny pattern scared me on such a big ski, i decided to go with the sth16.

some kid is selling a pair of bst too

I have px 14 races with the metal toe, super solid and stable. You can order them with the XXL brake, no bending needed.

the jester is the best binding for the hellbent, the wider binding footprint is ideal for a fatties like them. ( I have jesters on my 189 bents)

For the last time the jester pattern is smaller than that of the salomons, its all plastic to boot. 

sth16 is the way to go

i have fks on my bents because i bought them with holes drilled for fks, but normally i'd tell you not to put them on because of the tiny ass mounting pattern, better safe than sorry. i'd say sth 16 or jester

I have witnessed 3 seperate Jester failures just this season already.  One of the kids who broke his at Keystone (on the 5 foot jumps they had early season, not so extreme) said he had warrantied them and gotten a new pair before.  All 3 broke differently, get a metal binding like the new Deadbolt/Mojo or an STH binding.  I have FKS on my JJ's too and I haven't had any worries with them ripping out, but that's your call!

what he said!

yeah the plastic heel piece is sketchy on fat skis
because there is so much leverage working against it
happened to me on my hellbents where i pulled it out of the track
