Hi Mark
Have a look at oxycheq and agir. They make good stuff too. Agir actually makes a light blue wing if you want non-black (the environment is usually black so whats the difference?). If you go halcyon, avoid the SS inflator - they're prone to freeze ups.
For wear points with a BP they usually only occur in the crotch and rarely, on the kidney area where the bottom of the plate rests. Shoulders are somewhat loose when diving if you've got it fitted right so it doesn't tend to wear there at all so shoulder pads are unecessary.
Also, if you're using vikings you won't have any problems with straps wearing through.
