rEvo DSV is the smoothest I've tried. However, ISC is still the best overall DSV on my list.

Generally I enjoy Molycote111 great for holding negative but can make DSV operation a two handed job

@happy-diver, rEvo specifies oxygen compatible grease and I use Tribolube 71. Once you rebuild, the DSV is super smooth - one hand operation and is good for ~50-60 hours.
I use Molycote 111 on my ISC DSV. That DSV does not have o-rings - all friction - and 111 makes it super tight. If I don't use the DSV for a week or so, it is a two-handed operation to open it. Then back to normal. (Edit: ISC recommends Tribolube 71 on everything).
As this is a rEvo specific thread, let me just say this - rEvo is a super tight/dry unit. Love that!
