That's a tough one, figure out which weight system, jacket or wings, equipment configuration, etc. works best for you, then try the ones that match your needs on.
I use a Pro QD, and an Avid.

I suppose the games have begun, hope you really wanted all the info you're about to get.

Too funny Diversauras
Ok, Scbedoobedoo, I believe that your equipment should match the type of diving that you will be or want to do. Maybe if you gave us a little to go on as far as what you do, diving wise, we might be able to give you a few pointers.
Since you asked, I use a BP/wings for all of my diving. I can easily switch wings to match the tank(s) that I'm using and everything stays the same for each dive. Hope that helps.

Can't people ask simple questions around here anymore without accused of being a troll?
Uncertified future divers do stop by here to ask questions you know.

I was just referring to the possible BP/Wings vs. Jacket debate, which has been done time and again.
I really encourage people to ask questions, especially people just thinking about getting into diving. Bring on the queries

someone told me about transpac 11. Does the vest that holds the wings have pockets for built in weights? and are they actual wings that come off the back of the vest?

Here's a link to Dive Rite Express that has specs and pics of theTranspac II. I believe that the weight pockets are add-on options that just slide onto the waist belt. You can add a BP to the Transpac for extra stability as well. I don't use one but there are many that do and swear by them. They look to be a nice piece of kit though.
As far as the alternate inflation/backup reg. There are many options available to you there. I would suggest doing a search on them. I have seen people use them on the Transpac though so I guess it will work. I will keep my opinions to myself on the concept of the unit though.
