Congrats! Welcome to scubaboard.
Owning your own gear is like driving your own car - the seat and mirrors are always adjusted to where you want them, your fav radio station is already set, and you automatically know where the wipers and cruise control are.
Back inflates tend to come with several D-rings in various places depending on the make/model. There are upmteen versions of hose clips, snap clips, & retractors with which to connect/clip off your guages so they won't be dangling - a much better option than running it through a pocket, jacket arm, or other "make-do" invention common to stripped down rental gear. Same holds true for umpteen versions of octo holders to attach to you BC. Look at all the options in the gadget sections of your local dive shops and decide what you feel most comfortable handling as well as where you want them on your BCD so that you can maintain good trim in the water.
Enjoy your new gear!
