My twins are on a stainless steel backplate (portland oceaneering type 2) and the Portland harness - similar to the CD one and a Dive Rite rec wing. I would use the Seac jacket but I already had the wing. I found that in freshwater I went from needing 9kilos using the BCD with a single and a pony to 4 kilos using the steel plate / wing and a single and a pony. Be warned though that I absolutely hated the plate at first but since trying it with twins I fell in love all over again. As previously stated try out some configs first to see what you like.

Reg wise - I used to have Dacor regs but have since swapped to Poseidon Cyklons. One standard and one on a 2M hose which I hogloop although I will have a look at bungeeing it to the side of the cylinder.

HTH
