I have owned and used a few plates. DR SS, OMS AL, Halcyon SS regular size, Halcyon SS small, HOG AL, Halcyon AL small. DR and OMS I no longer own. H SS small is home water, single tank, double up to HP100. HOG AL is for heavier double at home and travel. H AL small belong to girlfriend for travel now.
Our of them, DR plate is very flat, noticeably flattest of all, which I didn't. DR is also the widest plate partially due to the flatness. HOG has the deepest band, but not more than OMS and H by much. HOG is the longest. HOG has extra set of "lower" bolt holes allow tanks or STA to mount lower, which I like a lot.
In term of finish, H is noticeably better than the rest by a big margin, but you pay for it. OMS and H AL plates are hard anodized. HOG AL is powder coated. Anodized finish is noticeably tougher than power coated. My HOG AL looks more used despite saw fewer dives. HOG AL plate also seems to use thinner AL than OMS and H.
Both myself and GF think H plates are most comfortable due to the bended lower corners

I am a big fan of the Heser Tauchtechnik plate - very heavy (12lbs) and very nicely finished. But I can see it not working for everyone - it does for me becuase of local conditions, need for weight, undergarment, etc.
