im sort of a newbie when it comes to equipment, but i am starting to look for my own BC. which brand is worth getting. I was looking at a Dacor Falcon. had some cool features. then i was looking at a cressi sub j107 BC. Are any of these reputable??
 
Welcome to the Scuba board.
I am not familiar with these particular BC's but both Dacor and Cressi Sub are companies with a very long tradition in producing dive gear and are reputable.
The most important thing in a BC would be a proper fit. It is less important what name is on the BC as long as it fits you, makes you comfortable and suits your diving. It means that when you know what style you want, you should try as many different models as possible in order to compare and find out which is the most comfortable for you.
There are many things to consider:
Where will you be diving? What kind of other gear will you be using(tanks, suit, etc.)?
What kind of diving would you like to be doing in couple of years?
Jacket style or back inflation?
With or without weight integration?
The board is a great place to look for information. You could use the search option to look for the specific BC's you were asking ;)
I have a Sea Quest Pro QD. It does it job very well and I'm pleased with this product. Fits me well and fulfills my needs for rereational diving. Whether it is the right one for you, this I don't know ;)
 
In about a minute, there is going to be a hundred posts here to tell you about the Backplate/Wing setup.................
 
I would stay clear of the Dacors; right now Mares is not supporting Dacor regs and I suppose that goes for BCs as well.
Mares has a number of very good BCs by the way.

Mares doesn't support the older Dacor regs and will probably not support older Dacor BC's but it will support the new Dacor BC lines just like it supports the newer Dacor regs.
