I have a 'PADI' rec hose setup on an Apeks DST with the 5th port upgrade - the Octo comes out of the bottom of the turret (for long hose, I'd have that there), with the body of the first stage angled at about 45 degrees, so it routes down under my right arm. Primary second stage on the right, SPG on a short hose (just reaches hip D-ring with a tiny bit of slack to spare) on the left, and inflator hose adjacent to that. I need to be careful to position the tank properly or the inflator hose tends to get bent in a less than elegant manner (similar to your pics above), but shifting the tank an inch or so up usually fixes that.
