If you shore solo dive in Bonaire, which of single/pony/double tanks do you use? Why? What size tanks?

Recent posts about doubles for solo shore diving Bonaire prompted asking what people find practical there.
 
Al80 and our on 13 cf pony with regulator. Or I might just sling the13 with a 63.
 
AL 80 and my tank mounted pony.

Single 80 and keep the dives shallow. 90% of what I want do see is 35 ft or less and I can do 90 minute dives with gas to spare at those depths so no need for more gas and in the event of a loss of gas....which is very unlikely.. I can just cesa.
 
Single 80 and my 6 cf pony. Average depth around 30-35.
 
I am the same as Kharon, single back aluminum 80 and left shoulder slung 6 cu foot as the bailout. I am happy with that for all recreational depth warm water solo diving.
