Went to a skishop the other day too look at them and the guy tol me that my breaks should be 100 (i have faction prodigys 2.0) but I can’t seem to find any 100 breaks only 95 or 110 and I’m looking at either look pivots or tyrolia attacks. Any help on which I should choose would be nice and also is it bad if I take 95 and not 100?

Yep 95 should be good. They will probably fit well stock but brakes can always be bent a bit to fit

yep 95 is perfect for that, no question

your two options, Look Pivots and Tyrolia Attacks, are excellent as well. pivots are crazy popular for ages now because they're super consistent and durable. get those, or if you want something lighter or cheaper (and, i believe, even closer to the ski than pivots) go for the attacks. both great choices!

By cheaper do you mean that they come off more easily etc?

right sorry i should have worded that better, no i meant more affordable. basically pivots are the gold standard but attacks have earned a super good reputation in the past few years for having good performance but being surprisingly affordable. basically if you walked in to a room and just said "i like freeride and/or park skiing, what bindings should i get?" these two models is what i would suggest. pivot as top choice but attacks if you want them lighter or the cost is a primary concern. you're good either way

don’t get marker, they’re unreliable and break fairly easily, go to look or tyrolia attacks

I disagree, but I'm curious what you've broken on markers? Markers have always felt a bit better than tyrolia's to me, and way more bomb than any of the Salomon group bindings (I haven't ridden STHs).

pivot brakes usually run a bit big usually so if you do end up going with them 95 will be perfect
