Search this group for discussions on Flow bindings. Lots of info.

As with any system, you'll find people that love it and those that hate
it. Demo it for a day if possible. If you're buying boots as well,
try the flow bindings with your boots and make sure the interface is
good (highback doesn't catch on the heel, no odd pressure points on the
top of your foot or heel).

I am a big fan of ease of exit/entry but personally did not like flow
bindings at all. Reasons in earlier posts.

Straps are easier to tweek throughout the day and to swap out boards
with buddies if you want to try other equipment since others can
instantly tighten the bindings for their feet/boots. My favorite at
the moment are the Burton Toe-cap bindings. Less pressure points, good
support, easy on/off.
