Self inflating life jacket advice, please.

Had 2 of the BPS models inflate on me at different times during a heavy rainstorm. One was in a hatch and should not have gotten wet and the other was being worn by me at the time.  Switched both to manual only after I spent the $90 on a pair of re-arming kits.  At the time Bass Pro was the only place you could buy the kits, and a 4 hour round trip to replace them made me look to other options for the next time i buy a vest.  Mustang re-arm kits seem to be the most common

I have a pair of the BPS ones and wear them all the time (It is law that they have to be worn. Unlike the regular PFD that only needs to be in the boat). I have also got in the truck to drive home and forgot it is on! The re-arm kit is $29.95 at BPS. The auto inflate jackets go on sale periodically for around $120.00 I believe.
