px12 jibs.

best binding for the money if you weigh under 200lbs and arent planning on riding amazingly aggressive.

or jesters if you are a little over the weight.

dont get salomon STH 16's, they are more for a backcountry type of skiing and i would imagine since yor riding chronics you wont be riding much backcountry. i would consider jesters, STH 12's or 14's

No.....STH 12 and 14 are the same binding, but 16s obviously have a higher DIN.  That doesn't mean they are for BC.  They are a fantastic park binding.

when your doing switch quad unnatural olsen flips!!!!!111!!!!11!!1111!!!!11!1!!!!!!

just kidding, but if you are a heavier skier or are hitting HUGE shit it does come in handy.
i personally would never crank my bindings up to 16, but i know people that do.

you recommended the jester which also has a DIN of 16 so you just screwed yourself by your own logic.

only problems with griffons is that they work like a dildo up your ass when you are landing backseat

For exactly the reason that you might not crank it to 16, go with the sth 14, still solid but I think its a little bit lighter as well
