In my experience all dive computers are almost the same. There are a few out there that are on two different extreme ends from conservative to liberal. When looking at the two most common computers oceanic and sunnto (cobra, viper or newer models) they are very similar.
The time that it takes to clear the deco on a sunnto is usually the time that it takes to lower the nitrogen from the yellow to the green on a oceanic.
The difference is one demands a longer safety stop which if you don't will lock the computer in an error more while the other doesn't but you have surfaced with a considerate amount of nitrogen.
As mentioned previously all dives are deco dives because we always need to make a safety stop. The question is how long of a safety stop. My usual routine is to try and make as smooth as a curved profile as I can, a half stop and then as I work my way shallower I make 3 stops. One at 20 ft for 2 - 3 min, 15 ft 5 min and another 1 min at 10ft with an easy slow ascent.
Now I do this every day so I need to take extra care but at the same time this allows for enough time for others to release more nitrogen before surfacing. Sometimes the most dangerous area is the last 10 to 15 ft while ascending where you want to go extra slow.
