The Zeagle Ranger is an excellent BC. But, there are a few drawbacks. Not major ones, depending on your diving. First, Zeagle wings seem to hold water longer (between the wing and the actually bladder) and take longer to drain than other back inflation BCs. Just means getting into the boat (or handing your BC up to the boat staff) will be a little tougher. Also, Zeagle harnesses are not compatible with other back plate and wing setups. Most use the 17" grommet hookups (I think its 17") and Zeagle has its own way of hooking their wings to their harnesses. I'm sure it can be done, but it takes some experimentation on your part. Also, most back inflate BCs have the "trim weight" pockets attached to the harness (not the backplate/wing system though) but with Zeagle, you have to buy tank trim weights separately. But, the trim weights should take care of any positioning problems.
Pro-Unlimited is also an excellent BC. We sell Seaquest BCs in our shop, and have never had any problem with people dropping the weight pockets. I've dove with a Diva QD from Seaquest for 2 years and have never had any complaints. But, they do have a 10lb max for each pocket. So if you push that max, there may be problems. Pro Unlimited might have a higher limit...not sure. We just got them in Guam (We are always the last to get anything!!)
