Best bindings for park riding?

I just got some new Tom Wallisch Pros (178) and now I need some bindings. I’m 6ft, 145 lb. I ski like a 8 din currently. What bindings should I get if 100% of my riding on these skis will be in the park? I also want something that’s light weight. I’m looking into the Marker griffon 13id since it’s what I currently use and I have never had any issues with them. But just curious if there is any better options out there for me?

I also use griffons and I’m heavier than you and also have zero problems, ever. You’re pretty light so you prob don’t need any ”better” bindings but I know people are gonna tell you that attack 13 or pivots would be good, I have no experience with those.

Griffons are a hair lighter than th eother two, I use them no problem.
I guess Attacks hold your boot closer to the ski so you aren't as tall. New models have a really small overhang to grab the toe so they have to be adjusted just right.
I think pivots also hold the boot really low, plus they somehow allow more flex underfoot.

Anyway that's what I've been able to pick up. Love to hear any real advantages/disadvantages of any of them.

I just got me some griffons after my friend (who just now switched to pivots) told me that they are good and haven't had any issues with them plus they cheap.
