40" hose will go around your head to your mouth or allow you to share the 2nd stage with a buddy
Winner here. What and why are the reasons and under what conditions?Before anyone can give you advise other than what is best for themselves you need to give us a little more info on your diving and planned use.
First, will you be traveling with this? Obviously weight and size will matter here. May also effect choice of mounting.
How good are you on air? As said, knowing your actual gas usage rate will help here.
Do you want to carry the minimum to get you to the surface or do you want plenty of gas for a leisurely ascent and extended safety stop?
Do you mind a larger, heavier tank to manage on shore or boat (is there room on the boat) or would you prefer something small and easier to stow?
What are your personal must haves verses things you can compromise on?
