Do you penetrate wrecks??? If so you could easily puncture your bc.. What if you LP inflator hose fails, are you going to manually inflate your bc while sinking??? If so, do you worry about C02 buildup's???
What does this have to do with steel? I have no experience wreck diving, but it seem that the bc puncture or LP hose failure could happen with an AL tank as well. I dive with steel and AL using a wetsuit, the only difference that I notice is that I need more lead w/AL and of course my ST95 lasts longer than my AL80.
