I dive with a Cressi Travellight BC. it's simple, jacket style (which I love!) and it serves its purpose for my 50-70 dives per year.

lots of debate on back inflate vs jacket style vs wings on here, so you might look it up. Ive been pretty vocal on my dislike of back inflation specifically with regards to how I float on the surface after the dive.
 
Why do you think I wouldn't be happy diving with it ?
As I mentioned in my first post, it's a pretty big & bulky BC for a travel BC but the biggest issue is that a 45 to 55 wing is way to big for single tank diving. The wing will "taco" around your tank and trap air. The biggest wing you will need for single tank diving is 30 lb.
My travel BC is a Sub Gravity aluminum back-plate and 26 lb donut wing.
