Buying a snowboard, need advice Options

[shid]

Ok guys, I'm in the market for a snowboard, boots and bindings- and need some advice. Anything is appreciated.

Basically, what brands do you recommend that won't rip me a new gut pricewise? I'm looking at buying from Sports Chalet right now, as they have a whole package- boots; board and bindings 20% off total; thats pretty good; would add up to about 80 dollars a 400 dollar package.

What should I look for when I'm buying a board, boots or bindings?

I already know I need a wider board- as my feet stick out on rentals and cause me many a crash >_< damn big feet.

What about bindings? Definetly not step ins; but what should I look for about the strap ins?

Boots?

Hidden brands, etc information appreciated. Links to buyer guides also wanted.

Looking at a board by Morrow, anyone know of them?

BTW; my board size is between 59-63 or so.

Thanks guys.

if there are any snowboarders here there going to rip me for saying salomon, but there lower end stuff is actually really good for the price. Also, sport Chalet sucks balls. get it from a snowboard shop, you might pay a little more, but there going to know there stuff a whole lot more. And if they set it up for you make sure they screw everything in tight. I cant tell you how many students of mine came snowboarding with sports chalet stuff that was mounted improperly.
