I usually lug around HP steel 130's and don't plan on doubles anytime soon. ( maybe I'll add a couple HP 150's) So need an STA or no?
Do I need an STA for an Alum. BP

I'm guessing you mean something like the Faber HP 149. My question is why? Almost 30 inches long, 46 lbs empty and looks like a buoyancy shift of almost 12 lbs or so. Why not just sling a bottle. What kind of dives are you doing that you need that much gas in a single tank. And if not using an STA now why bother with one for these?
I'd use an STA, my experience is that without one I've always had a little bit of tank roll while diving. my sugestion to you is to try it without one if your unsure, and if you feel the tank wobble get an STA.
if you have a Hollis wing I believe the singles tank wings come with a nylon "STA" velcrod between the grommets, that might end up being enough with the wider diameter tanks

My DRIS singles wing doesn't have slots for the cam straps to go through so I would.

If not, based on the specific question here, the answer is it depends on the wing. Hollis singles wings don't need an STA with a Hollis plate. As stated above they have a small tank stabilizer built in that is roxk solid - at least with an AL 80.
