I often dive with a current and I feel that the standard bladder might be like a "sail in the wind" so to speak.
Then there's the Brigade with the Ranger "chassis" and a smaller bladder, which I think can be changed out for doubles...
I'm so confused, lol. If anyone can help me out, I'd be grateful.

I would stongly recommend that you look at investing your money towards a Zeagle BPW setup than a Zeagle Tech especially if your looking at doing doubles at a later date.
If your looking at getting the most streamlined rig, you cant beat a BPW. The cost is about the same also.
65lbs wing on singles and on most doubles is an overkill and you will get alot of drag. Thats from personal experience. I find that the 65lbs wing too big even for double 100cuf Fabers.
If your looking at one wing that can do both single and small doubles the Zeagle 44lbs can handle that job. I use the 44lbs ranger wing with my double Faber 7L and they are heavy as they are 300bar rated ones. Very streamlined. If your looking at getting into larger doubles I recommend the Zeagle Manta 50lbs wing. I use this wing on my Double Faber 100's (12.2l) and it balances out just right.
My favourite single rig is a BPW with zeagle 34lbs all elastic wing. Small and streamlined and perfect for travel when you use an ally plate or SS when at home in cold water.
