So I was just wondering how to best store my Reg setup. At the moment I have it hanging on a BC hanger, but I was wondering if hanging it stresses the hoses in any meaningful way, and if there was a better way to store it. Thanks!
 
I clean mine after every dive, the hang it to air dry. Once that's done I store it in a reg bag.
 
After rinsing and drying they go into a bin with my other gear where the hoses can sit with a minimum of bending. I don't like reg bags for storage due to the tight bends the hoses have to make.
 
So is hanging a bad idea? I wash my gear after every dive so that's not a concern, I'm more thinking the (unfortunate) months between trips where I can dive where I have to leave stuff around. I guess resting on the ground would be the best choice with minimal bending. Hanging just takes up a ton less space!

Thanks for the answers so far
