Thinking about buying an inflatable PFD...never used one.

Do you like the auto (blows up when it hits the water) or manual (yank a cord) type?

I've heard that the auto models can sometimes blow in the rain or damp, which is a negative.

With the manual kind, if you go overboard and knock yourself out, you aren't able to pull the ripcord...drowning is kind of a negative.

I'm leaning auto.
