It was also between the Burton Custom binding or Freestyle binding but the custom was a little more aesthetically pleasing and a bit stiffer.
Edit: I'm probably going to stick with the Burton Clash board and Burton Custom bindings. I'll go test out the Burton Moto and Burton Ruler boots to see which one I like better. The Ruler has a lot more tech than Moto tho and might be worth the difference in pricing.

Only thing I can say given the information up above, is go for a shorter board. Not drastically shorter but just a bit. I am 6' and I ride a 154-156.
So given that your 6" shorter than me you can probably make do with 148.
I say this because you are an intermediate rider, so you should still find the board adequately stable and you will start to have more fun on the board, switching from side to side, smaller jumps will be funner, etc.
I'm kinda molding you into a freestyle rider...Lol.
