I'm looking into purchasing my own regulators and the variety of those available (and the necessity of cutting through marketing language to determine real value) is making it a difficult choice.
What would you recommend as the best bang-for-buck reg for cold water diving? From what I've read so far, I'm thinking something midrange, with a balanced first stage and an unbalanced diaphragm second stage.
I think my LDS's tend to sell Apeks, Atomics, Mares, Aqualung and Scubapro.
How much of a plus is AL's parts-for-life guarantee? What would be the drawbacks to that?
