I have had a Buddy BCD all the time I have been diving and it has never let me down. It is tough and durable and although it is now starting to fade a little, it is still one of the best jackets on the market. Whenever anyone asks me what sort of jacket they should buy I will tell them to buy a buddy. There are lots of different styles and types and even colours for those of you who like everything to match. I have done an emergency assent with mine from 30M and it performed fine, the emergency cylinder has got to be the best idea that exists on any diving BCD. They have a great customer service too.
