Anders, your question is , which is better for you,right ?
This depends solely of your own experience, how you feel doing the deko
procedures you are used to . If you feel right, use both computers and
check which one conforms better with your habits. Give the other some
serious tries, as well, and watch yourself, if you even feel better
still.

A computer should not be judged solely upon his method of calculating or
the output it gives, but also regarding compliance with _your well_
proven habits.

I myself like computers which gave safe for me but close to the edge
values, so i can determine which degree of extra safety I'd like to put
in which my own decisions. 
In contrast to computers which give an abundant time of deco, which you
feel are safe but not really necesary . If you make a decision, now , to
leave their advice, you both may screw up the computer into bluescreen
mode, and be not really sure as to which degree you endanger yourself,
'cause you do not move to the direction of _more_ safety.
Just m y2cc.
 
> What Apeks-reg is the best? TX40, TX50 or TX100.

TX 50 is TX 40 plus adjustable breathing resistance/ venturi action. you
do not need that.

TX 100 is TX 50 minus swivel mount at first stage. You may not nedd
that. If you do, remember no swivel O-rings adds to reliability.

So, optimum in terms of reliability is TX 40 snd Stage + TX 100 first.

Compared to Poseidon, the Apeks first stages are a bit less complicated
to serve, but on par in power.

The Jetstream in its best condition has a big deal more capacicity , but
may feel not as comfortable cause the initial breaking pressure
usuasally is  bigger. ( in normal life, at the service class at
Poseidons I measured breaking pressures so low I could not believe it )
And, if something goes wrong at the little pilot valve, it may purge
your bottles contents more efficiently than any other reg. Not a case of
reg to be towed through silty passages.
