I use a mk25 s600 on my right post and I use a mk16/ balanced adjustable on my left post. The BA is one of the best regs I have ever used. Very solid and reliable....20 years old though.
What BC and reg do you use?

BC: DSS Single Rig
- Pros: Many, check dedicated threads in BC forum
- Cons: None really, thought the Pro-Fit harness didn't suit my style, changed it to Hog in less than an hour, end of story
Reg: Apeks XTX-200, XTX-50
- Pros: Everything! (Almost, one minor con below)
- Cons: I bought DIN for use in Europe but don't own tanks so when renting in the US I have to use a DIN-Yoke converter which pushes the 1st stage into the back of my head. Unlikely that many would use the same setup, so not truly an issue.

Halcyon Eclipse MC BP/W, aluminium back plate (I travel with it).
Scubapro X650 Mk25 and G250 Mk20
The Eclipse is great. Does not get in the way and makes you feel free u/w and gives perfect stability. Best thing I bought to date. You don't only get a BC, you might also get into DIR and learn something new (not trying to start a debate here, it just was like this for me).
Always liked how the scubapro regs breathe. Still have a Mares Abyss Titanium, and altough it is a nice breathing (albeit very heavy weighing) reg, I just prefer the Scubapro feel. Many top regs deliver similar amounts of air in terms of numbers and breathing values, but the breathing feel is still very different. My G250 is still in great shape, but starting to look "aged". I suppose this is all the rage these days. Maybe in a few years you can buy regs with either "new" or "aged" look. Ok, going off on a tangent here.
