You don't tell us much about what kind of diving you do, which is important for questions like this. You and I are about the same size. For travel or single tank diving I really like the Zeagle Scout which is back inflate, weight integrated, with their PFS sizing it can be custom fit. I've had the Scout several years and use it for confined water and open water training dives in the quarry, warm water or single tank travel. Its a little faded from pool work, but otherwise just a functional as when it was new and still my favorite for singles. Very comfortable to wear.
With my doubles or dry suit I have an older Zeagle that, unfortunately isn't made anymore. Its the Techpack which is a lot like the Transpack.
When you look for a BC try several and do a lot of thinking about what kind of diving you are doing and what you what to be doing in a few years. Depending on what your interests are, you might outgrow something like the Scout in a couple of years for all of your diving. The question then is is it better to have two BCs, each which is better suited for their intended purposes or one that, while not ideal for everything, works.
