boot sole length and skiing ability also factor into your DIN setting (how easily your skis release instead of tearing your ACL, etc.)
You probably need a 12 DIN binding, some popular ones are:
Marker Griffons
FKS 120
Look PX12/Rossignol Axial 120
Head Mojo 12

I personally like FKS or Griffons, but the other ones are good too and probably a little less expensive. When in doubt go to your local ski shop

It depends on your riding style too, i know some pople smaller than you that would snap a marker griffon in a second. I would recommend Sth 14 driver as the guy above said if you are pretty agressive, but you can easily ski on Griffons if you are not a really agressive skier.

Jesters are a possible option. I have 2 skis with them and can't go back. I'm 5'11 and 160lbs max. Great binding in my opinion. I've personally broken STH's previously, but I've heard good things about the new ones.

Two cents.

After breaking several pairs of other bindings (px12's and sths), I now swear by fks's/pivots.

Apparently, they reduce the chance of knee injuries as well. So that's what I would recommend.

Head/Tyrolia Mojo 12 or 14 if you don't wanna drop a ton of cash.

Good binding and pretty inexpensive too.
