Searching for my first set of gear

[Kako`o]

I know I do not want a jacket style and am currently debating between a wing & backplate like I was trained or a back inflated one like the Scubapro Hydros Pro. My future diving plans are local cold water diving in a drysuit for some fun and to gain more experience, diving when I travel in both warm and cold water.

I think you're on the right path. Some other also mentioned the Hog regulators and Shearwater computers. The Hogs will save you money and are very good quality. You will never reach the end of your Shearwater Perdix computer's ability and they are very user friendly...but a bit pricey.
