I'm going to go out on a looooong limb, here.
This has not, as a matter of fact, happened to you (lost all your gear). But you
do have a chunk of change to spend on gear (getting back into the sport, maybe. Maybe a new diver, dunno).
I'll make some further analysis... You care more about what
appears to be the best, rather than what is. But you, sensibly, don't quite trust the recommendations of your LDS (or there isn't one in the area, or you're trying to buy online).
Drat, you specified back inflate, I don't know how I missed that.
Given all of that: a SeaQuest Balance, Poseidon Odin, VR3, whatever split-fin Rodale's rated the highest.
Also, be sure to get a retractor for your console.

If all your dive gear was stolen or vaporized or you lost it in a divorce etc. And you had to replace everything and cost was not a factor what would you chose for the following items? 1)Regulator 2) BC back inflate and pretend a BP&wings had not been invented yet 3) Computer 4) Fins. And you want the best money can by and the best available.
