In this situation it's not that your wing isn't big enough, it's that you're not properly weighted.

As for Fishy, from full to empty your largest tank (120) will have a 9 lb. swing, which you'll need to compensate with weight, so at the beginning of a dive you'll be somewhere in the neighborhood of 20 lbs. negative, any of the wings you posted will work, I personally love my DR Venture.

I love the advertising for the Venture wing:
Dive Rite Venture Wings are the most compact air cell designed specifically for applications combining single cylinders, of up to 95 cubic feet/15 litres, with a rigid back plate/harness configuration or the Dive Rite TransPac harness. This wing will work with the largest of single tanks and is constructed of heavy-duty ballistic nylon

95 cf is "the largest of single tanks"?
 
ABQ, let me assure you that Lake Huron is not temperate water.

Very nice Jon, I dunno who's doing the testing at Dive Rite, but I recently had my Venture down to 100 feet with a single 104, SS plate and cannister light.

No, in fact its anything but. However, many people do travel for diving excursions that are to tropical locations and a smaller wing would fill the ticket if that was the case.
