THall 12/13 166cm - what binding?

I'm getting this years Armada THalls in 166cm pretty shure, now I'd like to know what binding would be the best for it.
I'm about 60kg, 1.65cm and I'm pretty good on rails and like buttering alot, not too much into jumps but BC jumps are pretty fun for me. So much about my skills and data.
Now I personally really would like to get the Look Pivot 14. But I don't know wether this binding will fit me or goes well with the ski.
Lots of people say Marker Jester but I somehow don't feel the Markers lol, Salomon STH Driver, Tyrolia Peak...
I really don't know what to get, but from what I've heard of the Pivots (or Rossi FKS, all the same) they must be really good but rather recommend for if you hit big booters...
What should the brake width be and so on... please help me haha

I have the thalls in 166cm and i have 20 pounds and 2 inches on you. I run axial 2's, you don't really need to go any higher than a 12 binding judging by your size. Brake wise they either come with 90mm or 100mm brakes which both work because when you click in the brakes push up next to the binding anyway. They also look dope on the skis.

ok thx for giving me the advice! k+!
Also thought that anything above 12, 13 is overkill anyway (don't want broken legs or torn ACLs lol)...

I like the salomon driver 12 which comes in a 90mm brake and judging by your size it would be a great binding for. As well it doesn't come at a crazy price point compared to the jesters, fks etc but I have also heard good things about the axial. But this is just my 2 cents generally your local shop will set you up the best for your ability level and style of skiing. :)
