I want to buy travel BCDs for my wife and I. As an instructor on surface, it is handy to be effortlessly vertical - but many BCDs tend to want to put you horizontal. Any recommendations on which travel BCD would be best?
 
The Scubapro classic is the best BC on the market that would keep you in any position you choose. When on the surface, I can stay vertical without any effort and be head/chin above water.
 
I have a Travelight and can confirm it stays vertical while floating on the surface. Its almost effortless. Some reviewers on leisurepro said it pushed them forward but I think that had more to do with their integrated weight placement in the BCD than the BCD itself.
