    Well, I just outfitted my wife with a complete set of gear.
I don't think that there is a 'right' set of gear. We looked for
fit, features and price; in about that order. A stabalizer
jacket made by Tabata just happened to fit her better than one
made by US Divers.  
    The one error that we made (sort of) was getting the new
Tabata regulator (the small plastic space age looking one).
She feels that it free flows too much under water. Especially
when upside down or sideways. It doesn't bother me, but if you
like the looks of it, try it as a rental once or twice first.
    In general, no one manufacurer has a clear advantage in 
features/price over any of the others as far as we could tell.
