Which wing?

I'm about to resume diving after a 2 year break.

Back in the day, my setup used to be a single tank with steel plate and an eclipse 40. I've since sold the eclipse because it was way way too big for the size of tank I was using, and kept flapping about and the whole thing just didnt feel "right".

Im just wondering which wing I should replace it with. Most of my diving is done in a 5mm wetsuit/steel plate/alu tank. Would the eclipse 30 be a better option, or a pioneer 27 if i can find one? What are your opinions on oxycheq, DIR zone, dive rite etc?

Any advice much appreciated.

Both the wings you mentioned are fine. I really think there is no big dfference between the 30 and 40 as far as lift performance to the diver.
The pioneer was a good success and as you say, 27 pounder.
