Yeah, I'd make my choice between the Tecton and Shift based on cumulative durability assessment just before purchase, and maybe reviews of function for overall alpine including groomers and bumps vs lift-served sidecountry/backcountry only.
I like my Hagan Core/ATK Raider 12 bindings better than the plethora of other AT bindings I've used for alpine touring/backcountry. Not only are they lightweight, the heel allows some travel, flexing. I don't think I would consider using them on the groomed lift-served, especially giving the lightweight skis they are on (100 mm waist but only 5 lbs 6 oz for the pair). I think the two above would be better given their design an release functions.
