Looking to get my wife a BP/wing setup for xmas. she is 5' nothing and we normally do warm water diving. She is currently diving a Mares BC and it is an XXS. What would be a good combo for her? Thanks!
BP/Wing for small female 5'0"

You could take a look at the small version of the freedom contour plate

Deep Sea Supply also makes a small plate as well as Hollis I think, though not 100% sure. Highly suggest you buy the package deal though.
Bit of warning about Tobin though, he comes off gruff but not rude or such (at least when I talked with him).
As an added bonus great Customer Service.

I'm 4'10'' and I love my small Halcyon bp/w with quick cinch.
The small Halcyon plate is lovely, with the shoulder slots set a little closer together so they won't slide off a small woman's shoulders. But be aware that the plate has no camband slots, so if your wife is diving a single tank, she will HAVE to use an STA with that plate.
The small Deep Sea Supply plate requires no STA, but I have to cross the shoulders straps to keep them in place on me.

I'd try the freedom plate with an oxycheq 18lb machV wing. That's a pretty itty bitty set up and great for warm water.

No question, Freedom Plate and an Oxycheq 18 Lb wing.
Perhaps a bigger question is: Is she onboard with the idea of changing from a poodle jacket to a wing? Just because it is better does not mean she will think it is... right away anyway. Pay close attention to her color preferences and sense of aesthetics if you hope to have your gift well received.
