HOG SS plate and 23lb wing ... relatively inexpensive
DSS SS (Long pattern) w/ weight plates and GHA and a HOG 32# wing, and a 1 piece webbing harness (dry suit),
DSS Kydex (Long Pattern) w/ LCD 30# wing (this one has a Transplate harness)
VDH "Vintage Plate" with an OxyCheq 30# or Argonaut Dive 18# wing and a home made adjustable harness.
OxyCheq "Dogbone" with a HOG 23# wing and a home made H-harness
Wife dives a DSS SS w/ GHA and an OxyCheq 30# wing with a DR "Delux" (no QR) harness
Daughter dives a DSS SS w/ GHA, Deep6 30# or 20# wing, and a DR "Delux" (no QR) harness
Though you didn't ask, for doubles, I either use the VDH plate with a DR CCR wing or I also have a DSS SS (X-Long Pattern) w/ GHA, and a HOG 50# wing..

I also use the VDH plate in warm water with the DR XT travel wing. I most often dive an Argonaut Kraken DH and keeping the can close to my back helps performance, DSS has a pretty low profile and the VDH is flat.
Hilarious...............sorry irish human, but its really funny.
DSS medium size steel plate and Torus 26 wing.
I could have used a smaller wing, but I wanted to be sure it would work for a range of tanks and wetsuits. The 26 works well for me with both 3 mm and 5 mm wetsuits and aluminum or steel tanks. I typically use the 3 mm with aluminum tanks, and the 5 mm with a steel 100 or 120. It's a compromise.
