I own two hp 130's and two hp 100's. Both are worthington. Love the weight charateristis. I really can't form a opinion on LP tanks due to inexperience with them. How ever when purchasing my tanks I spoke with a few guys that have both, and like both, but lean towards the hp. They said the hp trim different and the weight is distributed a little different, but that is personal preference I guess. I live in south east MI and dive in Ohio as well and never had a problem getting a hp fill in the 10 years I have been diving. I have been curious to try a LP tank though.
 
divegear express here in south fl has worthington X7-100HP's for $370 shipping included. had one shipped here(key largo)(cheaper than driving to pompano beach!) last year with current VIP, nitrox ready; no issues. i believe leisure pro has similar price, not sure about vip etc. here's a link explaining steel/aluminum tanks and prices,,,,,,,,,,,,
