My favorite travel BC is the Zeagle Express Tech. Lighter and more versatile than any back plate and it uses a standard Zeagle wing. I also like the Dive Rite Hunter Pack, but I understand it's been discontinued. These two BCs have all the bennies of a BC&Wing and are also very flexible and so easy to pack. I like the Zeagle weight system a bit better, but the Hunter Pack feels better. Both are simply great and super light.
