Look at Zeagle, complete rig available, subgravity is also very tempting.

I just went through the search and ended up with subgravity paragon.Finally going to pull the trigger and get a BPW set up but am really confused about the difference between some of the different companies. I was initially looking at a DGX system due to its price, but then some people say that the quality is a lot less than some of the other companies especially for another $200 and to look into Deep6, XDeep or Dive Rite. Don't mind spending an extra $200 if there's really that much of a difference.
I live in SFL and usually dive warm water with either a skin or 3m in the winter. Only single tank for now, but may want to get into tech in the next year or 2.
Appreciate the help.

What part of the DGX BP/W did you hear was sub par?
Just get a regular DIR plate and harness. Both D6 and xdeep show some fruity nonsense on their rigs, on their websites.
The main value in BP/W is efficiency. Of all the BCD options it is potentially the most streamlined, most versatile, toughest, and best value for money. I say potentially because the farther you get from the basic (aka DIR or Hogarthian) setup, the farther you get from these ideals. The parts that make up a basic setup are: a stainless steel plate, several feet of 2" wide harness webbing, a stainless steel buckle, 3 D-rings (plus 2 on the crotch strap), a handful of belt slides, a wing, and two tank straps.Finally going to pull the trigger and get a BPW set up but am really confused about the difference between some of the different companies.

huh?On the D6 there's some kind of plastic clip on the waist belt and two weight pouchs. And it uses an sta, and needs 2 extra holes in the plate drilled.
And while the Zeos is the best option from Xdeep, but it uses an sta, and it's cam straps might not be as nice as DGX's.
The DGX doesn't need an sta.
And this thing is just plain weird:
NX ZEN - Single tank recreational BC System; Rec wing
Recreational BCD for demanding divers. Due to unique and innovative construction provides perfect position, better safety and more comfort than any classic BCD.www.xdeep.eu
Cutout the sides of the plate, so my bungied dsmv can't hide there. And dual crotch straps, [just what I've always wanted]. And my pet peeve, inflator hose in wrong spot.
