bindings aren't like skis in terms of being super specific in what they're geared for, it's really a difference between race and freeride, sounds like you need freeride, and then it's a din/preference. i love the fks series, maybe check out the fks 120, if not then a salomon 912 would be good, you don't need over a 12 din binding

bindings really dont have all mountain and park segments.  Just weaker and stronger bindings.  I have had good luck with my Salomon s14 bindings so I would maybe some sth14s

Marker Griffon is the perfect binding for you. Although there are not real specification for various bindings the marker griffon is a strong, light and although not a pur park binding has some chararistics of a great park binding.

i know i'm probably going to get hate for this, but i like my old 4frnt deadbolt 412's (vists). and they kind of sound like something you're looking for if you can find them.

Well he could just get the new models instead.  More durable for sure.

thats debatable. i have some tyrolia peak 12's too, i know they're different than than the 15's and 18's but it doesn't sound like this kid needs anything over 12. but anyways my peak 12's aren't really all that great, like my boot wiggles in them. and i think the vist bindings were hit or miss. i think just a few people had bad experiences with them which gave them a bad name.

if you weigh 120lbs, any binding will work fine, it really doesnt matter. 

just dont get a 30 din marker.
