I currently use a 22in hose attached to 90 degree adapter into the octo. Octo is then secured via bungee necklace. My primary is on a 40in hose under my right arm to another 90 degree adapter into primary 2nd stage.
My primary is on a 28" hose with a 360* swivel, and a 40" hose on the octo. I decided to stick with the standard hose config during the training, knowing its just changing out two hoses if I wanted to do it the other way. The swivel is amazing. Got it at cave adventurers for $25 and it completely eliminates jaw fatigue and the feeling of the hose yanking on the side of your head when you turn to the left. Im thinking of ordering a 2nd one as a spare.
Also the BP/W setup I was looking at was Deep 6's. I already got the "black friday" discount on their regs, and 25% off on a BP/W setup would lower the price to about $350-$375ish.
