It's time for my own BCD and I'm looking for XDeep Zeos and Zen. As many others before me I have a problem with choosing the proper lift capacity. Usually I dive with 7mm wetsuit (sometimes with a vest) with boots, 12 Lts tank and usually I have 4 kgs extra. I'm 1,70 and usually I weight between 80 to 85 kg.
So my 2 questions are:

1) Do i need more than 13 kg? Should I go for the 17 kg or I need the 19 kg lift? I should add that I try to dive as minimal as i can which means apart from my GoPro and a light I don't have anything else with me.

2) Should I go for the Steel plate so I won't have to use extra kilos or at least use minimum possible or should I go for the aluminium one and use extra kilos?

I would like to travel but i do not know how often I will travel (especially for diving) so I do not know if I should take it into consideration.
