I used the shop's jackets in my OW class, but every dive after was in a Halcyon BP/W, until I started using a Razor SM system in the caves. I'm going to take a look at the new Stealth system when I'm in Playa next month.
 
Voted a while ago, probably should post like everyone else...

Did OW in a ScubaPro Classic, you float like a cork on the surface, not bad underwater either.

Bought a SP Knighthawk -integrated weight system-, still love it except for the miserable zipper on the weight pockets. (I think SP ditched the zipper...)

I now dive a BP/W, currently on my second BP/W config. First was an OMS, the one I really like is a Fred Tagge custom rig.
