Which of these three bindings is the best? (Ride Capo, Rome 390 Boss, Ride Rodeo LTD)

Most of my time will be spent on the mountain but I don't want the binding to limit be from entering the terrain park when I am feeling it.

Have either of you guys ever rode any of these bindings? Just curious if you have any more in depth reasonings as to why one is superior to the other? Maybe some pros and cons. I know they are all great but I feel like the 390 boss might be lower tier compared to the other two? Is that true or no?

Appreciate the input guys, thank you. I have the 390 Boss at home but I'm unsure if I'd rather swap them for the rodeos. The 390s feel heavy and it's making me second guess them. The straps are comfy and the metal ratchets seem extremely reliable but still the weight is a turn off. Are the rodeos light?

Also, any cons to the Capos?

In all honesty, I am pretty unfamiliar with different bindings. I have only used a pair of Salomon Rhythms. I don't truly know if I have a preference since I have never ridden a pair of stiff bindings before. One thing I am curious to understand is, are stiffer bindings harder to ride? Does it make it easier to catch edges? I hear the phrase "not forgiving" when referring to stiff bindings... but I don't fully understand why lol.

As of right now, I'd probably say I prefer a stiffer binding but not too stiff that it limits me from going into the park on rare occasions.

I have both the 390 boss and the Capo's and this season I've been riding the Capos and love them. You can't go wrong with either binding, but the capos happen to fit my boots perfectly and are a tad lighter. The capos are my second pair of Ride bindings and while I do like them, I recommend you use plumbers tape on all of the screws since they love coming out with the bindings being metal on metal. Other than the screws being lose mine have been bullet proof. The Rome's have been solid without me having to do anything to them.

However if u can find Cartels at a good price. They are better than both of these bindings. I found last years for $160 and been loving them

Your opinion. One I disagree with in fact. Cartels are good bindings, but they're just kinda there to me. I would rather ride DSs, XFs, Rodeos, Hemlocks, DODs, Targas, Brigades, Drives, Liens, or even the new Bent metal stuff than Cartels.

I have the 2015 model, got them on super discount they have the old toe cap which is amazing and the older straps which I also think are just great. I agree the new toecap doesn't seem as good as their old tried and true one. I love the ratchet system on these (not sure what its called but has the angled ratchets

I hate the new toe cap. It literally fits nothing right. It's a terrible shape. Did it ever slide on me? No. But it's ugly not conforming right, so I hatez it. I am also not a fan of the Doubletake Ratchets and have seen a fair few jam with ice. My favorite binding from Burton are the Stay Calm EST. Cartel highback with the hammock, no hinge, asym react straps, getagrip toe cap, and normal ratchets. They're whats on my Showdog. They didn't make my list as I'm not a huge fan of ReFlex and obvious EST probs.

I have both bindings rodeo's and boss I think the rodeo highback is too soft for all Mountain use. The 390 boss are a little bit stiffer and more responsive and their warranty system is just awesome. But on the other hand I love the minidisk rodeo use. Ride have 2 bindings with the minidisk can find the type but I thought the other one is more all Mountain than the rodeo
