For recreational diving I feel more balance in a jacket. It's really just a personal preference.

I prefer back inflation. The back inflate is less restrictive and puts you in a better position than the jacket style. They take a bit of getting used to for the first few dives but I love them.

A jacket style BC is fine for most recreational diving. A wing BC is better for technical diving as they have more buoyancy. Additionally a wing has a clear front with 'd rings' for the attachment of additional cylinders. However, in an emergency a jacket BC will float you heads up at the surface a wing will probably float you on your front.
