For weight/capacity in fresh water I use:
Drysuit with 10lb BM/SM rig - no weight belt or harness
85's for regular open water & deco dives (sometimes add 2lb soft weights to knee pockets for extra warmth or stage bottles)
108's for overhead and dives requiring more reserves (never need extra weight)
AL80's as stages only
**********
If I were diving the cold NW dry in salt water I think I would want 95's or greater for the extra weight; the extra capacity is bonus
