Default Auto inflating PFD

What's everyone using for auto inflating PFD's? We aren't hard core running 100+. Do a few fun runs and general boating.

I keep a half dozen Mustang Survival MD2014 manual inflatable jackets on board for lower speed cruising for guests. I've had automatics that have inflated accidentally when someone got seriously splashed inside the boat. When we're doing poker runs or high speed running of any kind, I have LIfe Lines for myself and crew.

Mustang makes automatic version of this same jacket..

We've got the Mustang Hydrostatic self inflating version (model 3183 I believe) and find them really comfortable. The hydrostatic valve is supposed to keep them from prematurely inflating (such as from splashing water). So far so good. Get the sailing version with the D ring on the front. Makes a great connection for the kill switch lanyard.

Mustang Auto Inflating.

I have had all brands and by far, Mustang is the best. I run them all the time in my boat, just replaced the charge cartridges in them last year and it was easy and inexpensive. More money than some on the initial purchase but will hold up for years if stored and serviced properly.
