There is no one best PFD. Some things to consider: some PFDs have more flotation than others; some protect the body's high heat loss areas; some are comfortable to wear while working; some have inherent flotation; some are inflatable; some are USCG approved and some are not. There are a variety of types and styles available for a range of situations and users. Make sure your PFD fits you and meets your needs. If you can, try out a variety in an AMSEA pool session. The best kind of PFD is the one you wear.
