I'm using Mk20 first stages on both sides (and G250 seconds). JJ is
my instructor, and with his help my hose routing is now quite clean
(but not as clean as the Poseidons!). My Mk20s are currently yoke,
but I think I'll convert them to DIN early next year.
Left post: Mk20 is tilted to the right, not quite to horizontal. The
short hose goes off to the right, and the HP hose goes almost straight
down (to be clipped off on the hip D-ring). The key is to use the LP
port on the end of the swivel -- I was warned not to do this when I
bought the regulator (the owner said it wasn't a port!), but JJ set me
straight on that point.
Right post: Mk20 is tilted slightly to the right, but almost vertical.
Long hose is in the LP port on the end of the swivel, and runs straight
down behind the wings to the light canister, and you know the rest. BC
inflator hose comes out of one of the remaining LP ports, over the top
of the wings, then along the corrugated hose (retained by inner-tube).
I'm not using a drysuit, but I believe its inflator hose could be added
quite cleanly to the left post Mk20, at one of the LP ports that would
run perpendicular to the short hose.
Hope this helps. Scubapro has a nice web site with pictures and specs
of their regulators if that helps to visualize...

When I say right and left, I mean looking from back-to-front. Also,
it was a major improvement to get a shorter inflator hose -- the one
that came with the (DiveRite Original) Wings was several inches too
long. Standard HP hose is too long as well. BTW, the swivel I refer
to is just the part of the Mk20 where the LP ports are, not an add-on
swivel that you might see some people install down near their second
stage... there's no need for that sort of thing.
