Either will work fine, if you are in a three buckle boot probably the midstiff, if in a four buckle the ridstiff. You will be happy with either binding. It is really a matter of preference.--------------I've never skied the Hammerheads, always O2s, but I've heard from fellow tele skiers that Hammerheads don't behave as well in powder. The spring is way up front, so it torques down more.------------Have skied both Hammerheads and 01's (same underfoot cartridge system as the O2) I can confirm Angus's theory about the Hammerheads. I prefer my 01s on deeper days for sure. As for the cartridge, depnds on your boot's bellows flex. If you are in a little softer flexing boot (Scarpa T1, BD Push, most of the 3 buckles) go with the mid-stiffs. For stiffer boots (custom, ener-g (soooort of), t-race) use the rid-stiffs. I use the rid-stiffs with my t-races and the combo works really well.
