Just wondering what all of your thoughts are on the DUI deltas (jacket and wing) We used these during our class, I liked them quite a bit, however I have not used anything else to compare. What do you guys think of them, and what do you all think are better, or equivalent to the Deltas?

I have a DUI Delta, and I admit it is comfortable... But, it's also extremely bulky ... Also, the lack of pockets and the way the weights are "strung" into the bc are both less than desirable. I don't believe it would be possible to do a weight replacement if you pulled the yellow "handles" out underwater~ they're definitely not made for removal and replacement.
You'd actually have to take the weights out individually from the top (the velcro'ed) part and replace them one by one- now having to hold 4+ loose weights and try to replace them one by one underwater, LOL, well... it's just not going to happen.

If you're set on getting a bc, stick with one that has integrated weight pouches that you can easily remove & replace, such as the Balance...

Or just do like I did- ditch the BC and switch to a BP/W :D
