I use APEKS DS4 1st stages for all of my bailout regs with ATX50. My rEvo also came with DS4 O2 and DIL 1st stages. I tear them down annually for an ultrasonic cleaning in Global Scuba's Hydrosonic cleaner. Scubagaskets.com is a great source for 1st & 2nd stage rebuild kits as well as parts.
 
Those are great regs and I, along with many thousands of divers, have used them at those depths. But more importantly, they have been tested by the manufacturer on machines that simulate much harsher conditions than a normal or even near-panicked diver breathing at 60m.
