I'm in the same situation and I'm going with the Salomons. If you do go with STH's though, I would recommend you going with the 14's because the driver's are a bit more reliable and durable.

Need more info on you, though. What kind of skiing do you do? Weight? What kind of skis do you have? Let it all pour out, man.

Also, try gear talk, you'll get a lot better answers.

They're the same bindings. But like said, the Driver toe is the better one if you can find it. Try Untracked.com

Not too hard to find, I just ordered mine up and if you shop around online, you can find some damn low prices.

At your height and weight you will be fine with the 12 din. However there are 2 versions from salomon, the driver version and the oversized version. You will want the driver version. The FFG 12 last season only had the oversized toe and also had the z heel rather then the STH heel. This may have changed for this season though I would need to check. Also last season the FFG 14 used the oversized toe not the Driver however this is changing for this season.

Overall if you can find a good deal on the STH 12 Driver get that.

STH and FFG are the same bindings. Go with the 14 din.
