i personally like basically any rossi bindings especially the ones that look like they have dildos on the back of them.

Rossignol FKS/Look Pivots (same binding) are probably the best, but a little expensive.

i have a pair of salomon dumonts and i have marker jesters on them, they are a great binding to have on them

marker griffon or jesters depending on your weight and what din settings you want on them.

Step 1, go here: https://www.newschoolers.com/web/forums/readthread/thread_id/481906/ and read that
Step 2, Go to your local shop and see what brands they have and recommend for your height and weight
Step 3, If step 2 fails/seems incorrect, check the DIN Chart here: http://www.dinsetting.com/index.htm
Step 4, after reviewing the chart and seeing what your DIN setting should be around, pick one of the following DIN set numbers...4-12, 5-14, 6-16, 8-18 - your DIN setting should be around the middle of the setting (for example if the chart says you should be at a 9 go with the 5-14 or 6-16)
Step 5, pick a brand that you feel is the most durable and has a binding in your DIN range.

PRICE SHOULD NEVER BE THE BIGGEST FACTOR IN PURCHASING BINDINGS, it can lead to major frustration and possibly injury.

We need more information from you.  Height, weight, skier type, what level skier you are, etc.

I've got the ar7s. 5'9" 165 pounds ride 70% park 30% groomers. Any reason some sth 12's wouldnt go right on these? Anyone had particularly bad experience with salomon sth 12s or 14s?

In my experience, rossi FKS are the best, albeit most expensive.  Jester's are alright but I've had quite a bit of trouble with screws, etc. with them.  Lower din Look/Rossis always used to hold up well. Lower din Salomons are not worth buying.  Mid-higher din Rossi's/Look's are pretty good, but I've preferred Salomon's older STH 14 and 16.

Summation: If you've got some extra cash, buy FKS 155 or 185.
