Warm water or cold water, cheap or expensive? I wanted a good, mid-priced
cold water reg, and decided the Oceanic DX4 / Delta III was the best for me.
Thats what I came up with as the best reg a few months back, so i'd advise
that. Of course, others no doubt did their research too and came up with
something different.

I'm glad somebody has asked what for?

If you want deep water then go with the X-stream, but expect it to free flow
on low tank pressure at the surface.
If you want dependability, and cheap parts, go apex tx
if you want cheap cheap warm water, then go scubapro.

Defines some limits and there will be a flood of answers.

Cost? Price range? Dive conditions? Usage? Budget for servicing?

OTOH If I had to give you a reg off the top of my head, then it'd be DX4 F/S
with something reasonably good as a second.
Purely because it's a cracking first stage for the money.
but then, I have just spent the night in the pub

Since when is Scubapro cheap cheap? Surely you mean Sherwood or Mares.

Interesting breakdown. Apeks regs currently hold the depth record AFAIK..
what makes the Xstream better for deep water?

PX2 isn't one of the dry-sealed ones, so particularly in the cold water that
would cause problems. Only the DX4 and CDX5 are really suitable for cold
water as far as I know, and I suppose would be better in all water because
they aren't getting the internals clogged up with sediment and things.

I think most regs now can be specified as wanting 300 bar - most of the DIN
ones are 300 bar anyway.

Nice wide range there - i'd still say you should go with a good old water
reg (ie dry sealed, and *usually* diaphragm types), and then its can cope
with anything you throw at it. Not sure about how long they'd last before
servicing, I've only had mine for a few months so far.
