I started out diving with a back inflate, intregrated weight BCD system. After about 50 dives, I switched over to a Dive Rite BP/W and long 1º and short 2º Reg hose system. Probably the most benificial feature I found was the weight distribution; since I am now able to regulate my vertical center of balance, surface time is no longer a workout.
Good luck with your system.
