There is really very little difference diving a BP/wing and any other back inflate BCs if you put a little weight in the rear of the BI BC to compensate for the weight the BP would add. The biggest difference is adjusting of the BP- assuming a standard single web harness- with a standard BI BC you just pull the straps- it's adjusted, with a BP with the standard single web harness you have to remove it, adjust it and try again. Also, before buying consider what you will use the BC for. If it's local cold water diving then a steel plate may what you want. If you travel a lot by air, a SS plate will add a good bit of unnecessary weight to your luggage or if you dive a lot in warm water a steel plate may well be too heavy. In my case, a SS plate will overweight me by around 5 to 6 lbs in warm fresh water and around 2 in salt, an amount of overweighting I find unacceptable. You can always add a few pounds to your weight belt or to the BP if it's too light, one that is too heavy is always too heavy.
