I sling mine just like any other stage from my harness, and thus the reg is secured in the rubbers around the cylinder.
If I'm buddy diving with an octo though, I use a rubber snorkel keeper. I loop one end to the ring on my shoulder strap, and the other end holds the octo quite nicely around the mouthpiece.
It stays put much better for me, and if I need it , it comes right out. Plus, if it fouls, I can break it without too much damage to my wallet, and there seems to always be one laying around somewhere to replace it with.
I use a long hose and necklace when tekkie diving, and I really like that setup too, but for me it's overkill when just plopping in with a pal to look at the pretty fishies.
