root,
The type of diving you do most often determines the BC. The BP/W is nothing new, we used them back in the 1970's. The invention of the BC all but killed off the BP/W for recreational open water use because the early BCs were so much more comfortable, and easier to use. The recent lovefest with the BP/W is just that. Neither rig is right nor wrong in-and-of themselves. I use both rigs in my diving, BC for open water, and BP/W for river and close-quarter diving.
And, as always, TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!
