You may want to post answers to the following questions:
How often do you dive?
Do you have any budget?
Since you said that you were certified last year, what type of regs have you used? Are there things that you liked or disliked about what you have used in the past?
How long do you plan on owning them? (For example, do you like a new car every couple of years or do you drive your car until it dies?)

I'm very happy with my scubapro regs.
Buy a reg locally that you can get serviced locally that ends up being more important than a specific brand for most divers. Service is available almost anywhere for Scubapro regs.
Also budget wise buy the best reg you can afford which greatly increases the chances of not having to replace it as soon if ever. Brand can make a major diffence here. Scuabpro, Apollo and Apex are all excellent quality regs and Scubapro has a history of supporting nearly every reg they have ever made, so you can safely plan on parts and service support for a new Scubapro reg for the next 2 to 4 decades.

Scubapro MK25 1st Stage and Scubapro G250HP 2nd Stage. Very durable, easy breather and easy to find service in most areas.

A regulator you can service locally would be a smart choice.

I honestly dont know? Gee, so many to pick from I would go for a Seemann Sub they make the best ever especially with ham and cheese and dont forget their special sauce!
Sorry, got a little carried away Da Aquamaster and Aquaoren are right, serviceability and availability at your local shop is what counts in making the right decision.

What did you dive with during your certification dives? Did you like it? Will your LDS let you try some out before making your decision? Apeks has some very nice regulators. All are top quality and they have them to fix pretty much every budget. My buddy dives a ScubaPro MK25. I have a friend who dives a poseidon. Wet breather, but it is neat that the bubbles don't go up infront of your face. All of us love our regs and would not trade them. Go talk to your LDS and see if they have some rentals you can try out so you can see what you like and then buy a new one.
