John,
	You mentioned neck straps.  IMO they are a must!  I dive in
the Northeast most of the year with twins and a pony.  I use and
most of the people I dive with uses big red rubber bands "about 2
foot circumference" to hold the regulators just under our chins. 
If needed by partner, just pull hard and it will break.  Otherwise
its out of the sand/mud/silt/etc and where you can have quick
access to it.  Mark your regulators, so you know which 2nd stage
goes to which bottle.  I use different color mouth pieces, and
different brand for right, left, pony bottle.  I always use the
same reg in the same position.  Less chance of screw-ups.  ie:
going down the anchor line, and along the wreck to find out you are
out of air because you put your pony in your mouth.
