Ahh, give the guy a break. I know you don't want to hear this but for cold
water diving the Pressed Steel 104's are the ideal tank. If you need more
gas that that you can carry a stage. For warm water diving Al80's. The
difference between warm is cold is drysuit or not.

There are some who swear by HP120's but once they try a set of LP104's they
don't go back. Why are the 104's so perfect? Buoyancy characteristics. You
can remain neutral throughout your dive and avoid a weightbelt.

What!?!? Diving without a weight belt??? No, we won't even go there...

Manifolds you want the type that uses a floating isolator manifold, in
effect nothing from OMS. Yes of course different tanks need different
manifolds and bands mostly due to their diameter
