  We use the Odin first stages with either the Scuba Pro G250 or the Beuchat 
VX10 (same as apex or zeigle) seconds. The posieden seconds require special 
hoses and fitting that have unnecesary pressure relief valeves built into them 
which are hard to get in custom lengths, are wet in current or scootering, fill 
with water when not in use, and do not breath as evenly as the others
mentioned. 
The problem with new odins is that they have a built-in pressure relief valve.
I 
have one as a backup argon reg, and have not even looked it over yet to see if 
the valve can be plugged. I would assume it can be for use as a primary reg.
All 
of my others are older.

  In general, get regs that do not have the special fittings or hoses, and ones 
that you can buy the parts for to service. Remember that posieden needs 
"special" tools. This is easy to overcome: the wrench can be cut from a piece
of 
aluminum, or you can pay 100 for it, and the spanner wrenches are readily 
available at any power transmission supply place for the real (non-scuba)
price. 
After youget past that, the odin is the easiest reg to rebuild. Also , the G250 
second is easy. - G
