Hello , I need a new pair of bindings and i simply dont't know which one of these is better. If you could help me to decide i would be thankful

I would honestly try and do better than both. Unless you're looking at last years on sale and you're on a budget and can't spend the extra money, in that case I'd say go with the burtons. But if you're looking to buy 09's I'd recommend forgetting both and picking up a pair of last years Union Force for the same price.

ok thanks. I'm almost decided to spend a little more but still i have to chose between the Force and the Contact whick has good reviews too.. any opinion?

Force over the contact for sure. Has much better straps, baseplate, and is a little stiffer laterally.
