The dive-rite/oxycheq wing set up that you described is excellent. Just don't get the 'deluxe' harness, get a standard 2" webbing harness. To the respondents that commented on not needing a STA with the DSS set up, you don't need one with the oxycheq wing either. The OP wants one for extra weight, and with that in mind, it's perfectly acceptable, although I personally would get camband pockets from XS scuba instead, and you can easily mount 10lbs on the cambands. This does not move the tank further off your back like a STA does.
I don't know much about the weight pockets you described, but in general I'm not a fan of dive rite quick release pockets; they seem bulky and clumsy. With the steel plate and some weights on the cambands, a weight belt becomes much more manageable.
Not trying to steer you away from DSS, it's also very high quality gear.
