I love my HOG for my single setup but for my double Im hitting up Tobin at www.deepseasupply.com

You should do a search and you'll find dozens of threads with all sorts of recommendations. Don't get a wing that tries to do doubles and singles, it won't work. Sidemount is a completely different arrangement and if you're going that route, get some instruction on it along with set up advice.

For single AL80s, a steel plate offsets the buoyancy of the tank nicely. For steel doubles most divers will use an AL plate. Assuming you're starting off with mostly recreational diving with an AL80, I'd get a steel plate and a small wing (depending on your lift needs) with a hogarthian webbing harness. There are lots of good brands; dive rite, deep sea supply, oxycheq, and halcyon are four of the more well-known BP/W brands. There are others as well; but I'd avoid OMS due to many horror stories about customer service.

Checkout the UTD website. See what AG has to say about his delta wing.
