I bought these skis over the summer and have yet to mount them. I was thinking Marker Griffons. Any ohter good ones?

also I was wondering where you would recommend i mount my skis. I spend some time in the park but most of the time just skiing the mountain and hitting things all over?

Griffons and Jesters (the higher DIN model) are pretty much some of the best bindings you can buy, at least in my opinion. Also good are Look/Rossi/Dynastar bindings, personally I like the Look PX 12 model out of those. As for mount, I say +3 from trad, which will get you plenty of control, good flex and pop, and some switch ability.

Griffons are great. Get the Jesters if you ski at a higher DIN though (anything more than 10). I have a similar style of skiing that you describe: park is good, but most of my time is spent elsewhere. I'm smallish (5'8" - 135lbs) and I generally mount my skis 1.5cm forward of an 'all mountain' recommended mounting line or 2-3cm back of a 'freestyle' line. That way my smaller self can still drive bigger, directional skis but I'm centered enough that I can still ski switch. Fun stuff.
