I say get the Animus as well - it's waterproof! I go swimming and snorkeling with mine all the time...

I've been on the Deltec Cozmo (no longer made) and the Medtronic MiniMed as well - Animas is much better - cool clear color screen and waterproof - VERY durable!

Omnipod is cool, but I'm a small/thin girl and I didn't want the big pod sticking out of my body/showing under my clothes - I'd rather just keep the pump in my pocket or clipped to my under garments.

Besides, with a pump, you can suspend and just take it off if you need to - with Omnipod, if you have to take it off, you waste all that insulin.

Either way, it greatly depends on your lifestyle more than anything else.

good luck!
