Backplate and wing is the way to go. Simple, streamlined, easy to scale up/down if your diving habits change.

I'm a big fan of Deep 6regulators. We have about 30 regs and the last 8 or so that we've purchased have been Deep 6. Owner is the previous owner of Hog and they have great customer service. Serious give them a call, talk to Chris or Landen or one of the crew, and they'll get you squared away.

Best computer is a Shearwater, hands down. They have a cult following for a good reason. If you've got the money to spend, get a Shearwater Teric and don't look back. If you're on a budget or not diving enough to justify that, let me know your budget and will try to recommend something else.

Shearwater Teric here, I like it a lot. If you've got the scratch, I think you'll enjoy it.

A few friends have picked them up after I did, all are pleased...

I am new to diving but have been going every week for the past 6 months.

Local shop sells scubapro, so that's what I use. I have a BP/W and I love it over a vest type.

I have a scubapro mk25 with an a700, it's what a lot of the pros use around here. No complaints so far, way better than any rental gear you'll get. I use an Air2 for alternate air. Lots of people don't like them, but it makes sense to me, and I will keep it for now.
