What BC and reg do you use? How do you like them? Pro's , con's?

BC: DiveRite Transpac 2: LOVE it

Pros:
Extremely comfortable; doesn't squeeze ribs
Lots of modifications can be made to it, including switching out wings for different types of diving
Cons:
Price
Very popular BC, so easy to mix up on a dive boat
When you have weight pockets, the only way to get a good "storage" pocket on there is Dive Rite's thigh pocket.

Reg: Mares Proton Ice: Love it

Pros:
High performance, hard to overbreathe it (got into a bad situation where I drained 1300 lbs in 7 minutes but never felt like I was pulling)
Helps prevent cottonmouth
Easy to identify

Cons:
It's baby blue
A bit heavy and the mouthpiece that comes with it sucks, so need to invest in a SeaCure to solidly seat it
Expensive to maintain (it's sealed and a lot of shops charge more to service it)

Oceanic Probe bc: great jacket style, but I want a back inflate...
Zeagle tech 50-D reg.: Best reg. for me. Great for cold water and easy to break down.

And who can skip on saying they use their Dad's Aqualung conshelf supreme reg. from 1980 for the pony bottle...

you gotta love a classic that works just as well as the stuff they make today!
 
I am using an Seaquest Pro Q Unlimited. I love it. I am wanting a SeaQuest backinflation BCD if you know anyone who has a L, XL , or XXL. Feel free to email me.
