I've gone with Dive Makai, steel 80's, Pacific Rim, AL 80's (but by far my favorite boat, I only dive with them now), and Jack's diving locker AL 80's (felt like a cattle car - really disliked them).

Jack's uses Al 72s and Al 80s - depends on your air consumption / size which
you get. Their nitrox tanks are all Al 80s.

DiveTEK uses Al 80s for recreational charters. They also have a couple of
LP steel 98s (OMS / Faber "+" rated) as singles.

For technical chaters DiveTEK has double Al 80s, double LP steel 85s, and they can
borrow my LP double 98s and LP double 112s. They have Al 80 and Al 40 stages.

They were using AL 80s, weighted for neutral when empty, a little less extra weight.
