Naturally not AI, but a solid performer, Nitrox capable computer.
The RGBM model makes a lot of sense to me.

Easy to use. Nice bar graph to gives graphical display of N2 loading. You can easily add conservatism by keeping the N2 bargraph out of the yellow zone, but still get true unmodified deco calculations via the NDL time remaining display.
Uses the same model and database as the PADI RDP (thank you Dr. Deco!), even including, for reasons I don't understand, the 60 minute surface credit control of the RDP.
One minor quibble is that the NDL time is diplayed in big numbers, while total dive time is in smaller numbers ---- I usually monitor dive time, depth, and N2 bar while not paying that much attention to NDL numbers.

Personally I prefer not to use a computer... but it is nice to have a bottom time / depth gauge with download capabilities and that is why I use a Suunto Stinger (in gauge mode.)
A not so minor quibble with me is that computers display their version of the NDL in large numbers right there in the middle of the screen... where I want the bottom time.
While not a necessity for non-deco recreational divers the Stinger (Vytec and D3 as well) can switch the center display to a count up timer for use in timing deco stops.

Vytec w/ transmitter works great. On one boat, two of us had Vytecs - no problems. Just fire them up and check the codes, we never conflicted.
Having all info right on the wrist is very convenient although I do have a backup SPG clipped off just in case.
Downloading it all to the computer, including air consumption, is very cool.
Somewhere I got a deep nick on the transmitter. It must have been whacked pretty hard for that to happen. It stood up to it which is nice to know.

Suunto.
I expected Suunto to make a strong showing, but not quite this strong.
