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.
