CaveDiver -- You wrote and then answered V's question with the difference in use. However, I'm still curious as to whether there is any difference in the "o-rings" like you said. Do you use different material for o-rings that are used in a dynamic setting as opposed to ones that are used in a static one?
From Oxygen Compatible O-Rings, Lubricant and Tools - Dive Gear Express
"The soft O-rings are appropriate for dynamic applications where the O-ring is providing a seal with a constantly moving part, such as inside regulators. The stiff O-rings are more durable in static applications where the O-ring is providing a seal with stationary or occasionally moving parts, such as a valve."
PS... adding for clarity,.... Material selection when relating to scuba applications has no bearing on static vs. dynamic use. Material selection is a factor when considering a piece of equipment suitable for exposure to O2. See above link for additional info on materials as well.
