Go Zeagle WI. It has the best (IMHO) WI system. It is nearly impossible to deploy by accident and is very easy to deploy when needed.
 
I have a Seaquest Latitude WI BC. I absolutely love the weight integration and would never go back to wearing a weight belt.
 
The other consideration for WI is your body build. I have had to purchase a WI BC for my son. He has no real definition between waist and hips. (6'4", 162 lb) The weight belt kept sliding off.
 
Just because it's WI doesn't mean you can't forget your weights. I have done it. The only thing that is nice its pretty easy just to pop them in while in the water, where a belt can be more difficult depending on how much your trying to sling around you


I never remove the weight so for me: weight intigrated = Not forgetting them ;) My way of thinking is, If the weight comes out of the BC, something bad has happened. I know this is not for everyone as some people can't handle donning/carrying their BC with weight in it.
