The Mako hard float and flag has really impressed me.
read this: A Testimonial (hard float)
the "high pressure" inflatable one might be my next choice..

I have not tried it but I like the Brownies third lung 3D buoy.
It’s not streamlined to cut through water when scuba diving, but I like it because it is noticeable!

I use this one and it is great for snorkeling, freediving and even scuba diving:

Guys, do check your local laws, sometimes the specific size and construction of the flag is different from "stuff that's sold on the web". Even within the US, a flag can be perfectly legal in 49 states and still illegal in Florida.
Personally I'd like something about six feet square that followed me without a tether, and had a couple of Phalanx guns on it, set to maintain an automatic hundred yard perimeter.
Here, ANY dive flag just attracts idiots in boats or jetskis who want to come see what the colorful thing is, and whether they can take it home.

What I don’t understand is why the coast guard doesn’t make penalties and fines...
In Italy as far as I noticed nobody touches the diver down buoys... They know it’s extremely dangerous and in any case the coast guard is very strict on this. It happens to see they don’t respect the safety distance from the buoy that is 100 meters. But not really approach the buoys. Sometimes jet skis go too fast and they just don’t see the buoy or see it too late
