I have skied for about the last 15 years and have seen a number of
different types of binding come and go in popular vogue. Among the
list are: Burt Retractables, Besser Plates (which I owned and hated),
and  a number of old old old beartrap bindings.  Various shops in my
area have pushed various bindings over the years but my overall
favorites have been LOOK bindings.  The LOOK 89 should work for your
weight.  The LOOK 99 would give a higher  margin of safety (which is
probably why the salesman recommended them).  There really are no BAD
bindings on the market today (although I have always considered
Salamon bindings to be leg breakers , my opinion only, no facts to
prove this).  Any  binding should perform well within the
manufacturers ratings provided the entire system (boots,bindings,skis)
is properly matched and installed.
