Just wondering what the best method is to attach my octo/backup regulator to my BCD to allow for quick(emergency) removal for buddy breathing....?
Best way to attach Octo/backup regulator to BCD?

If you aren't into the bungied necklace go with one of these
Should cost almost 2.00 at LDS. Circle end hold it on BC's shoulder D-ring, rectangle end for octo (in case it wasn't obvious)

+1 Bungee necklace
+1 Second-best option is a basic snorkel-holder... or the variation shown by CT Sean.
Ignore all the plastic gimmick nonsense that hangs off the shelves at your LDS... none of it comes close to work nearly as well, or being anywhere near as cheap, as the two options above.

Take a length of 3/16" bungee, tie a square knot so you form a loop. Now loop it onto itself around your D-ring, slip mouthpiece of octo into loop, making sure the zip tie knotch is hooked as well.
It's more robust than a snorkel keeper or those keepers CT Sean posted, and it's incredibly easy to deploy and stow while still being tight enough to hold your octo in place. This is because unlike snorkel keepers, bungee can stretch
