Which binding has the best cushion?

I'm thinking to buy a new binding. At the moment I'm using the LF Shane Bonifay Boot from 2009.
Most important for me is that the new binding has a good cushion which is dampening my hard landings.
I like the 2012 Ronix Frank Boots because of the orange colour, but they seem to have less cushion?

Which Binding would you suggest?

Thanks

I've tried the LF, the Byerly, Slingshot D2 and the Ronix ones - I liked the slingshots but the durability wasn't there - the Ronix one's I've been riding for 2.5 seasons... FWIW

I am in the same situation right now. I had 2008 Watsons, loved them. Now it appears that the company's have switched to a thinner lining in order to reduce weight.

I ordered a pair of 2010 Cells, and don't find them very comfortable at all. Still sitting on my kitchen table. So I ordered a pair of 2011 Watsons, find them almost identical to the Cells in feel. I have to send one pair back but the problem is, I am considering sending both pairs back at this point.

Any manufacturers still using a liner similar to what would have been found in the 2008 Watsons?

Thanks
