I like tom21 footholds. You can run tons of padding! If you have all the tools and supplies it'll take a couple hours and you'll have to wait till the epoxy dries before you can poor the foam.

The foam is fun! It's like making a giant root beer float. (Even looks the same)

Search for wamiltons install, that's what I used.
I have used spray foam insulation when doing holds, it was very easy: http://greatstuff.dow.com/
I believe I used the red one. You install the holds then drill one hole in each so that you can fit the spray straw through. then you fill it up with the foam and the excess forces its way out the hole as it expands. then you can just cover the hole with glue or fiberglass and you're done.
mine were installed in maybe 03 and have not had any issues since then
the beauty of this is that there is no mixing or mess. you just toss the can when you are done.
this one one of the first things I did on my ski on my own (with my father when I was in my early 20s) it is a manageable job really, just make sure you have all the tools and equipment and go for it.

i haven't tried Toby's but i've heard good things and he's a good seller to deal with. I would either do the tom21 holds or Toby's since you can use the thick padding.

I'm using Rickter holds, they keep my feet locked in. I haven't tried any other holds, so i can't comment on anything else.
