One more to add to your list, back inflate bc.
I have all three. Jacket was used when I had my boat for maintenance....kept me vertical.
Oceanic Excursion II back inflate for singles. I use AL80's 100;s, and have just picked up a LP72 steelio.
BP/W for doubles. I would not choose to use it for singles though, even with a singles wing. It's sort of regressive in that I would need a weight belt (depends on tank) and crotch strap
. There is no other realistic choice for BM doubles.
Yes, you can add weight pouches, pockets for bu mask, but then that brings it full circle back to the Excursion I have.
@OP; did you try a basic harness with your plate? As in a one piece strap, non-adjustable. I do like how easy it is to mount and remove.
I wound up criss crossing the shoulder straps for a better fit.
