Although there may be a couple of makes of regulators these days that one
should avoid, most of them are reliable, breath easily, and will last
forever (well, almost) if they are looked after and regularly serviced.  All
are adjustable, at least in the shop.  The hype about regulators is created
by the shops and manufacturers.  The bottom line is that you couldn't tell
most of them apart in use.  

An important factor in choosing a new regulator should be the quality and
availability of service.  If you get one of the big-name workhorse
regulators, you can be assured that you will be able to get it serviced in
any shop, anywhere, quickly.  It is the same as it is with cars: if you get
the fancy model or the import, you will have trouble with parts and service.

I am not calling down fancy or imported regulators.  I own a Posidon Cyklon
300.  I love it.  Trouble is that nobody will service it.  I've solved that
problem by learning how to do my own service.  Getting parts from Sweden is
still slow.
