True but it is also true that "Aqua Lung Regs are pretty good and come with free service parts for life when maintained anually"
I'm sure this is true for other brands too. The real answer is there is no "Best". If there was a clear answer abut which was best why would anyone best any other reg? Clearly each diver who buys a reg thinks he is buying the best one for his use. So there are 100 "best" regs.
The way to select ne is
1) Make sure the brand can be serviced locally hopefully by more then one shop so you are not tied to them for life
2) Make sure the reg is suited to your usage. Some breath well but don't stand up to the abuse of beach diving and sand and surf. You ned to decide what is important to you.
3) the pric fits your budget.
When it comes right down to it any top name brand with a balanced 1st and balanced 2nd stage will be very good and there is not that much difference between them.
and I should have added this
