Quick question, what's your favorite set of doubles as far as trim bouynacy characteristics etc. Yes I know there's alot to the question. I'm simply asking what's your favorite set. This should be interesting.

When my back could handle it lp131s with a cave fill were convenient.
Now it's always a tradeoff between how sore I want to be the next day, availability and what's the least gas I can carry to do the dive.

Faber LP85's
OP
I just bought a pair. I'm excited to try them out!
I used HP120s for many years. My last pair were LP80s which felt much nicer.

Another vote for steel HP 100's. But as I get older, a steel 50 twinset is starting to look really good...
I love lightweight doubles since I can change from one set to a different set without having to adjust my weighting. Unfortunately now heavy steel tanks made with cheap low strength steel have become the norm. The good stuff is made with chrome moly steel speced as 880V, the cheap steel is speced as 828V.
The weights that I like are:
7L @7.5Kg
8L 140mm diam @8.6kg
12L @ 12.9-13.2Kg
18L @18.9Kg
