Looking for a recommendation on purchasing a few inflatable life vests. I see many different kinds and prices but I do not have any experience as to what is good, better, or best. I think that auto/manual capability may be wanted, also replacement cartridges instead of throwaway.
What are your opinions and what are you using? All 4 will be for adults.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I carry 2 offshore Mustang auto inflatable vest in my ditch bag. I have 6 inshore manual inflatables on board plus some regula vests. Price range from 250 to 100.
 
Thanks Gwazoo. Do you have the hydrostatic or the bobbin type inflators. Will the bobbin type accidentally inflate if worn in rainy weather?
 
We have two Mustang Survival hydrostatic auto-inflatables on board. I wear one when washing the boat early in the season when the water is still relatively cold. Water from the hose has accidentally hit or blown onto the vest at times. Never had a nuisance inflation...
