You shouldn't shop much differently unless you are asking about a touring setup or something. Generally I use the same bindings at the same DIN for powder as for park. I just don't worry about my FKS brakes tearing off on my pow skis.

Schizos will blow up. Like said, there is no pow binding. Depending on your size and ability though, pick out something from the Salomon STH Driver series.

any of the STH driver serise (or atomic FFG team, same thing) depending on your size, and weight, FKS are a nightmare to put back on if they come off

personally i like Sth Drivers, whichever fits your weight. As a bonus, they are easier to click in to than Fks/Markers.

Ski what you're comfortable on.  Don't base your purchases on what kids on NS tell you.  Make up your own mind.

Salomon, Marker, Head, Rossignol all make some good bindings.  I've skied them all.  Some I like, some I don't.

any type of pivot-binding, they'll last you forever.
