+1 BP/W. As mentioned above, drysuit divers need more balast than wetsuit divers, and it's MUCH more comfortable to have a lot of that balast right between your lungs and your wing. If you put a weight insert into your STA, you will need even less weight belt lead.
And as I always say, if you are thinking of getting into technical diving, if you are diving doubles, or if you are diving in a dry suit, you should get a BP/W. But if you are sure that you will only be doing warm water, single tank, shallow recreational diving, then you should get a BP/W.
