Your preferred regulator?

[CAPTAIN SINBAD]

How many regulators have you used and how would you rank them in terms of your overall preference? I have owned (in order or preference)

1). Dive Rite XT (As good as my apeks but cheaper)
2). Apeks XTX 50 (sealed diaphragm, more resistant to cold water free flows than my Atomic Z2)
3) Atomic Z2 (probably the best breather I have dived but unsealed piston design made it unsuitable for cold water / ice)

Thank you for sharing this. It allowed me to show my wife I am not spending too much money on dive stuff.

My preferred reg ... the one that is in my mouth while I am blowing bubbles.
