Apeks XTX200 and XTX50 backup (FST first stage) and my second set is a DST first stage with TX50 main, TX40 backup.
Also have a bog standard scubapro R190/Mk2 for stage reg.
Worth noting that whatever reg you have even cold certified ones if youre prone to purging or prebreathing them in very cold air/water they can freeflow regardless.

I have never had a problem with my Sherwood Blizzard, even with ice diving.
Poseidon Cyklon 5000s for me.

My wife and I have Delta 4's
Never seen a free flow yet, from the tropics to under the ice.

I use a.. Humm.. What was those numbers again 
Edit:
Ahh, here we go
Coltrisub Ocean C 11000, Clotrisub Octopus C 1000
The C11000 I breathe a lot in cold water and have had no problems with it, either in sub-freezing air temps nor in water near freezing (and beginning to freeze) but I havent done any ice-diving with it yet, although I wouldnt hesitate to do so as far as the reg goes..
The octopus however I have to admitt that I havent been breathing very much, but I probably should just to get a feel for how it perform in cold water.. Would kinda suck to donate that reg just to find out it freeze up. Then again 99% of my cold water diving is solo..

2 Zeagle Flathead VI's for my doubles, I've also ice dived the Zeagle DSV and it was absolutely reliable. The DSV's are now stage regs, and I have an Oceanic GT3 for single tank diving in all temps.
