I'll add the Kubi's to my list as well.

My list is small, not because the gear isn't good. I set my criteria for the list to be items that I would replace with the exact same item if I ever lost it. No shopping around for different products. Stuff like my regs, yes they are very good and I like them, no issues. But if I lost them, I would see what else is out there before getting new ones. The old ones would be on the list of stuff to compare, but not just getting the same again without question. So if I listed it, I REALLY like it.

On that basis, just my Hollis M1 mask, which also happens to be my very first equipment purchase!
 
Cressi Matrix mask
Scubapro Delta 5 boots
Mares Fins
Aqualung Axiom BCD
Aqualung core regs

Would those be the Power Plana fins? I have mine to a DM in Vallarta as a tip because they wouldn't fit in my carry-on bag. I liked them a lot but my Jet Fins fit in my luggage.
 
After a test drive this weekend, I'm so so so so happy about my nomad+transpac

Mares wave, I probably tried at least 5 other sorts before settling on these.
 
I don't have any major gear regrets but the MVP purchase based value would be Mares Jax mouthpiece. A mouldable mouthpiece doesn't cost much and makes diving more comfortable.

I also don't regret choosing a mask in the dive store without looking at the price tag, even though I spent more than I would have liked. A mask that fits is priceless. In my case that was a Hollis M3
 
2) Milk crate with drawer handles (from a home improvement store) installed on inside edges of the crate.

Pictures??
 
Conshelf seconds
moldable mouthpiece (agree with Scubamat)
Deep 6 first

2xAL80s @ $65 a piece (2017 born on date) (dumb luck that I was in the right place at the right time for these last two)
2xAL80s @ $65 + $40 for new hydros and vis (2013 B.O.D.)
