Backgas - FST/XTX100/ATX (I dive AL80 doubles - DS4s don't route nicely with AL80/Evolve 40 combo). Am not a fan of the hard plastic exhaust tee on the XTX second stage; I prefer the soft ones on TX50/100. Otoh, I don't like having a big second stage (i.e. TX or G250 size) on the left post.

Stage/deco - various DS4/TX50 or DS4/ATXs combos. DS4s are great - simple, compact, snag free design with straight down hose routing; I personally do not like using first stages with swivel turret (Mk20/25, DST, etc.) for stage/deco...

Single tank rig - MK20 + S600/R390 (my very first reg purchase, still in use).
