I am looking at Armada el rey skis and looking for bindings. I plan on skiing a lot of park but also want a good binding for all mountain. I weigh about 130 lbs and am about 5' 6''. I would consider myself to be a strong intermediate to advanced skier.

Basically any 10-12 din binding will work. There are not really any bad bindings on the market these days. People often over complicate the binding buying decision more than they need too. I would generally go with whatever you can find the best deal on. People might tell you to go for something high din, metal and burly, but at your size you won't need the extra durability, and the money is better spent on something else. Plus you knees will thank you.

Try searching for some of these on froogle ect:
Look PX12/10
Marker Griffon (squire would also be fine at your weight)
Salomon STH 12 Driver
Rossi Axial 2 120/100
Tyrolia Peak 12

Any of these will work.

But judging by your size, your gonna grow. (I'm assuming your young and growing). This binding is a little cheaper but will work great till you get bigger (170lbs+).

Yeah it's a 10 din but at your size it's all you need.

All of DHogg's above post is quality advic just two things. First off you go with Griffons see if you can find the 10-11 model as I think they were the ones that contained some metal. Secondly the Axial2 120 is an absolute quality binding, check out my review on the here: http://aslansskiblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/rossignol-axial2-120-ski-binding-review.html
