wt belt vs wt harness vs integrated wts vs nondumpable wts

[chrisw]

OK, as a recently certified rec diver I got the standard
BC with wt belt training. one hand release: must be able to ditch
all wts. works fine. esp when taking off geat in order to
get back on dive boat

As I looked into renting rec equipment I got the standard
BC with integrated wt pouch set up. one hand release for EACH wt
pouch, still able to ditch all wts...one group at a time

Then I started to drysuit dive. ugh. 29# in the front integrated
wt pouch is too heavy for me to hoist up onto my back with
the 35# tank...and forget about handing that monster up
to the divemaster on a boat...so I started looking at a wt harness...

Then I got sick of all the dangling hoses and the fat wt
pouches draggin on the lake bottom and started looking into
a more tech-like set up (H2/DIR) with a nice bp/wing...but
confused about the wt setup...ditchable or nonditchable...
seems the tech crowd has a nonditchable philosophy...

So, anyone got advice on how to choose my wt system?
