I'm pretty new to sidemount and I've always used a loop of bungee for the top of each cylinder (from backplate, through a d-ring and back to the backplate). But I've just seen pictures of a single length of bungee from the backplate and just tied to the d-ring.
Compare, for example:

A single length seems like a better option (less fuss), but are there advantages to having the bungee in a loop instead of a single piece?
