I think I need some handholding. No divers have died because of x, thus x is safe, right?

well, close...
it's more like "i don't know anything about x but i'm still an expert, darn you!"

In my view:
Isolator manifolds are better for buddy/team diving as you can donate more gas in the event of a failure, but leave you open to possibly having an inadiquate gas supply to exit on your own should you need to isolate as no person has an instantanious, zero time shutdown.
Independants are better for solo diving because a catastrophic failure will not leave you with less gas than you need to exit in a single tank. (provided proper planning)
And both Crossbars and H-Valves have no place in an overhead environement as they both have single point of failures that leave with with zero gas.
YMMV

basically, the idea for this thread came to me because i was thinking:
what is the manifold valve for?
all i could think of was shutting the connection between the two tanks
i wanted to see if i was missing something
really appreciate all the feedback
