Thanks for the replies! I've been retracing my video watching, and this second video reinforced the view that the hose grip was preferred for some reason. The instructor uses it while demonstrating clearing the reg. It may just be a personal preference that I mistook for a recommendation...

yeah, this is the most practical way, you can donate like this, you can easily clip of like this, you can easily switch etc etc.. gripping the reg like this is the one-way to do everything else. It becomes muscle memory and no need to have any other grip
