Min gas volume requirements for GUE doubles is 140 or 150 cuft so the tiny doubles are out. I actually think it might be 144cuft to accommodate the lp72s, but I i don't have access to the standards right now.
Your best bet is al80s, hp100s, lp85s. The al80s are the lightest on the surface in terms of weight, but they usually require a little extra lead to counteract the buoyancy which puts them a little closer to steel hp100 weight territory.
Hp100s are a popular choice. I have really come to enjoy the al80s though. They trim out great and feel like a light backpack after lugging around lp108s all the time. The popularity of the al80s with a lot of GUE divers was always something I questioned...let's just say I am a believer now.
