I know that there probably isn't much new information here, but my preference is the computers (there are 2, Cochran EMC-20 and Nitek Duo) on the right wrist and the compass on the left.
Every time I recommend this to a right handed diver, invariably they put the computer on the left wrist and then move it after the first dive because they realize that it's tough to see the display with your wrist over your head while deflating the BCD. Every time.
Best point I've seen so far: try it out before you buy.
My wife has a Suunto which can be worn on the wrist with a bungee mount or put into a console. When it's in the console, she has bouancy issues, when it's on the wrist... no issues.
I prefer the user replaceable battery, both of mine are. Of course, this option is only valuable if you carry spare batteries! Yes, it's possible to flood this way, but use care and lube the o ring. At least with a user replaceable battery you have a chance to get back into the action...
Good luck with your decisions...
