Well, judging by all the information you gave us, I would say Look P18's for sure.

Weight, height, age, skiing ability.

We can't honestly make recommendations without knowing who's on the skis.

I hope you realize that those guys were joking about the Look P18s.  At your weight, you can't use those bindings safely.  You need a 10 or 12 din binding at most. 

These are some of the better ones IMO:
Marker Griffon
Marker Griffon Schizo
Salomon STH 12
Rossignol FKS 120
Look P12
(these are in no particular order btw)

You could probably get away with a pair of Salomon Z10s or Z12s if your really looking to save some cash, but I would definitely recommend one of the pairs listed above if you (or your parents, lol) can afford it.

They have a wider mounting pattern, wider brakes, a different brake system, sweet colors, etc.  Are they worth double the price of an older pair?  I personally don't think so.  Plus I don't ski a high enough din to justify getting the FKS 140 anyways.  Guess I'll have to live with the good old FKS 120 :-)
