portable oxygen system

Could anyone recommend a portable 4 place oxygen system? It will be used mainly for trips of 3 to 4 hours and a ceiling of 15000 feet. Any opinions or preferences would be appreciated.

We use Sky-ox and have been happy with it. We've noticed there are enhanced features but haven't bought them. Don't know if capacity will be a problem for you.

I would also recommend getting an oximeter to make sure the pilot's O2 level is good. It was not the plan but once flew at 15,000 for about 10 hours and my decision-making and mental acuity were not good. Thankfully, I was co-pilot and recovered immediately once we descended.
