I switched from Ranger (well, technically a Brigade) to a BP/W with a hog harness. It took some adjustment, as you simply don't wear the shoulder straps the same.
The plate itself holds the tank(s) in position, as opposed to the tightness of the harness on a more traditional BC. The waist and crotch straps hold the plate to your body. So, it's all stable, even with comparatively loose shoulder straps.
