I have the higher end Tyrolia/Head bindings and love them. They are mostly steel so I have not had any issues. Pretty easy for me to get the heavier MoJo models at LevelNine at a low price. Not sure how their new AT models are though. I, too, was spooked initially by the problems that they had back in the day, but several retailers assured me back in 2002 and 2003 that those issues were long gone. Since then I have had at least five pair with no problem at all. I have some of their cheaper models too and I don't like too much plastic. My recent ones have all been DIN 14, 15, or 16 and they are durable bindings.
I've also had several different Marker models in the past and have liked them. In my experience Marker is just really expensive.
I also had, back in the day, an old Look Pivot binding and they looked and felt odd. But they worked.
