Advice: Best type PFD for tube?

[flygoddess]

I agree they are the most comfortable but I just can't get past that even if it was 100/1. The fact that they HAVE failed, just not worth it specially with these vest that have been posted with no padding in the back.

Plus I could be wrong, but I thought I read, some places do not allow the inflatable.
I will try to find that.
