Due to your injury, make sure you go with a binding that is not too high on your ankle--CWB Faction is good. I am currently injured--both feet, three weeks apart, very similar to your injury. The physical therapist stated that a tight, high-ankle binding has less movement and will transfer the energy to the weakest point in the binding(top of foot) or worse, to your knee. Women tend to have weaker acl's that's why you see their bindings are lower. I've always liked a super tight binding, but have since reconsidered. I agree, the CWB hinge bindings are great for ease of entry/exit.
