I'm around 5'6-5'7 and weigh 123 lbs at the moment.  I ski mostly park, and some groomers.  Park is split between rails and jumps and im in the east (ontario). 

Which bindings would be great for my size/weight and go well with the k2 disorderlys

Rossi SAS2 120 Wide

STH 14s I would choose of those.  The Rossis are bricks, and the 14s are barely heavier than the 12s but if you want to go a bit higher when you get bigger you can.  Most people do not need 6lb/pair all metal bindings.  I had S914s and skied STH14s and they are both great(914s have more metal though, before anyone points that out)

rossis all the way.  i have always hated salomon bindings.  i used to have s912's and with the dins on 8 and adjusted properly i could lay my ski on its side and twist my foot out of the toe pieces.  salomon toe pieces unless they are the 916's tend to release waaaaay to easily for my liking.  the rossis are all the binding you will every need especially if you get the ti version cuz they will last longer than plastic.

I love my rossi 120's. Probably one of the most sturdy bindings out there.

aiight, i was just worried about durability and weight

it sounds like that the rossi's are durable and a bit heavier then the salomons.  I was a little afraid that a heavier binding might hinder me when im trying to bring my skis up for grabs or rails.

weight difference probably isnt more than a pound so just to put that in perspective that is probably like the difference between having your wallet, ipod and phone in your pocket or not, honestly you will never notice it.  i would go rossi all the way i have never had a problem with my fks 120s or my scratch 140s, love them to death

ok if not Sollys, do your self a favor and get Peak 12s.  Great binding, and will be perfect and super light for your size.
