OMS
Used Zeagle Ranger for years. When I made "the transfer" I bought an OMS IQ pack and a DR Transpack II on ebay. Used them both and prefered the OMS. (I admit the DR was a tad small so that did influence my choice)
Once I ditched the OMS IQ harness and threaded $12 worth of webbing and a few d-rings around the plate I found my ideal choice.
I have looked at every possible wing while dry and still don't see a reason to change from what I have. If money were not an issue I would think about some of the other ones out there for warm water dives. I can't see giving up my OMS for the colder stuff though.

i have a dive rite ss plate, because it was cheap on ebay. turned out it was local to my brother, too, so no postage!
and a kraken al plate, 'cause he was nice enough to make me one.
and a halcyon singles wing, 'cause jason b sold it to me when he went to doubles.
and a deep outdoors doubles wing, 'cause someone on sb sold it to me CHEAP!
and i've used a dr classic doubles wing, too.
hmm, haven't paid retail for any of them. guess i'm cheaper than i thought!

Before you jump at me I was not implying I use OMS in the warm water. I have a really old Zeagle wing for that.

I dive a Hammerhead BP and STA with a 30lb. Oxycheq Mach V for the cold lakes up here. I also just bought an Oxycheq travel plate of E-Bay for a smokin price and am waiting for my 2nd Mach V to show up.

They are all very similiar and feel much the same underwater. I like the one that gives me the best price and service.

Just buy one and end your pain. There's not enough difference in them to make a hill-of-beans.
I walked into my LDS talked with the owners tried one on and bought it . . .
