I started using my 19 when I was in a Sherwood Avid. I just rigged it with a top & bottom bolt snapped and clipped it to shoulder and hip D rings. Grab & go, nothing special set-up and I can hand it off.
If your BC has D-Rings to connect the snaps Spectrum hit it on the head.
If not, as I just found with my brothers gear, you may need to modify the shoulder harness and belt to allow for clipping.
The problem with mounting it on the main tank is access to the tank valve and SPG.
If you have a free flow on your pony reg, there goes your redundant air tank. You also have no way of seeing the tank pressure once you put on your main tank. With the pony under your arm, you can turn on the air when needed. You also can use a mini-SPG in one of the HP ports on the pony primary so you can see your air pressure.
All in all, better to sling in under your arm than to mount it on the tank.

Let me get my answer in before this thread gets out of hand. Because we all know it will.
I use this. The pony tank doesn't move, and its easy to switch from tank to tank. Reef Scuba Pony Tamer Reef Scuba Super Pony Tamer
