I use an Oasis with a Shadow octo. Like them. easy breathing, even down to 125 fsw. I wasn't happy when I first saw several rental rigs showup with them, then thought that rental places would be using them because they are easy to maintain and would have a low malfunction rate. Both are desirable to me, and so far, with 100+ dives on them in 2 years, I'm happy with them, which is what counts to me. The first stage has a bleed port which is suppose to help keep water out. Do'nt know how well that works, but both times I've had the reg in for service, the service person thought I was BS'ing them about how many dives I had with it. Also, it doesn't bleed enough air to worry about. When I get home from my dives, I hook my reg to my tank, charge it, shut off the tank, and soak all my gear for several hours in fresh water. My spg has never dropped more than a 100 psi in over 4 hours.
