boots are kinda funny....find something that fits your feet...bindings...well, when it comes to 3-pin bindings, i don't think there's much out there to separate one from the other...

of course, as a 10th Group guy, i've skied Chips and Death (White) Stars with Silveretta cable bindkings, Hanwags and Heads with Marker touring bindings (the sumbitch that dreamed those bindings up needs to be shot, hung and shot again), and when we were "allowed" to bring our own boots, i used Koflach Vallugas with a Silveretta 400 binding on a Vokl Renntiger (Alpine Touring HSLD for sure)...in Alaska, i used Mickey Mouse boots with a cable binding on Head skis...

i have a pair of Jaarvinen skis with Salomon boots and bindings, but they aren't touring skis...

right now, i have Karhu skis with Karhu 3-pin bindings and boots...it seems to be a workable combination...i tried Raichle 3-pin boots and Salomon as well, but they didn't seem to fit me right....and that's the key...if the boots don't fit, you will be one unhappy camper...
