Opinions on BCD Please

[bdizzle]

So...first post...hello all! Finally certified and now, looking to pick up my own gear rather than renting.
During the class/cert dive, used an Oceanic excursion. However, other suggestions have been thrown my way as to other quality BCDs. Therefore, coming to the pros here, general opinions would help immensely between the following:

Oceanic Excursion
Oceanic Probe LX
Mares Dragon Airtrim

Any and all opinions and help are greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all!

My opinion is that for any internet suggestions to be even close to logical, you need to give us as many details as possible. A first step is to fill out your profile page.

Where do you live?
Where will you dive?
What kind of dives will you be most interested in?
What other dives might you have interest in?
Where did you get certified?
What other gear did you use in your cert class?
What other gear do you own?
What other gear will you buy?
What agency is your certification?
What is your gender, age, height, weight, fitness level, athletic history, swimming prowess?
And perhaps even similar info about your regular buddy?

What he said.
My pretty automatic suggestion for Rec is to go for a Transpac or similar... soft backplate system...
