Pete -

Not sure if this combination is still available, but this is the optimal 
solution if you go with apeks:

DS-4 First stage - Environmentally sealed version of the Us-4 - Balanced 
Diaphragm  US-4 ok for warm fresh water.
T50/TX50 Second Stage - A copy of the G250 basically - good for primary

For backup 2nd, I use an oceanic alpha.  There are other ones out there.  I 
like mine.  For backup, its best to pick a second stage that isn't finicky, 
which basically rules out most scuba pro, in my opinion.  Should be non 
adjustable, non balanced, detuned and simple.

I don't like the flathead six/tx100 personally.  It will work.  Its not 
optimal.  Same with Tech50 first stage.
