All that aside, forever bp/wing user here, I loath the bent style "tech" plates for single tank diving. They were designed and intended for doubles and at best adapted to singles.

DRIS Dive Gear 28lb BP/W System | Dive Right In Scuba - Plainfield, IL - Dive Right in Scuba <-that's 314 pounds, and free shipping to you. I stumbled across that the other day.+ Overall likely cheaper than a good BP/W
Wing
Is there a sweet spot that might work in my case for all 3 scenarios (3mm / 7mm / dry) also considering my relatively heavy weights. I.e. could a 30 lbs work for all that or would I have to look at buying 2 wings for that?
I know no better as I own one, and haven't used any other brand of conventional BP, but I hear DSS has a different bend angle intended to be single tank friendlier. Truth be told, I also enjoy my VDH "Vintage" plate...
It is not just that the doubles tech plates teeter the tank on top of the bend but also that the top camband sits on the shoulder of the tank unless the tank is hiked up much too far such that it bangs the back of the head.
