Personally I think knowing your gear is far more important than the gear configuration you wear....along with excellent bouyancy control and buddy awareness.

Gear configuration is just as important. If your hose gets snagged and ripped out of your mouth and you cant find your octo (speaking recreationally) you are in a world of hurt.
If you venture into an overhead environment and you have a long bc hose extending way up and it comes in contact with the overhead environment and you puncture it you destroyed your only air source.
Just 2 examples of why gear configuration is important.
I have 5 hoses total coming off 2 first stage regulaters. 2 regs, bp inflater, ds inflater and pressure guage. I carry a canister light as well. I am always getting the comment on how I have to many hoses. Maybe its that really long dangerous one I have wrapped around my neck. Considering a recreation style rig has 4 hoses on it and 5 if they dive a drysuit. not much different .
