Get any of the big name regs, like Aqualung, ScubaPro, and a few others, and you'll do fine. Personally, I'd consider AL and SP the most, as you can get those suckers serviced anywhere in the world (great for traveling to warm water locations), and both manufacturers have a reputation for making regs that last forever and are supported forever, so their resale value should be good should you decide you've made a mistake... tho it's truly tough to make a mistake with either brand.
Zeagles are a great brand, again, but if you're traveling you could run into service issues. I would buy one of their BCs before I bought a regulator, as BCs need service far less frequently than regs.
Given the above-mentioned "moral issues" with Aqualung, I would put ScubaPro first, even though AL has that free octo promo going (only until the end of the month). And that's not just because I dive SP regs myself.
