Some people like the idea of a y valve so they don't have to have a set of gear for single and doubles. They can dive a double tank configuration with a single tank. I have found that my regs fit much better on my tanks with Y valves as opposed to the H valve. The y valves are extremely hard to come by right now.

You can get DIN H valves or yoke y-valves. There are other valves available as well that offer first stage redundancy, but they aren't very popular and I don't know them off hand. I think www.northeastscubasupply.com has H valves for sale. Let me give you a suggestion that may save you some money. If your dive really warrants first stage redundancy, you are likely safer to buy doubles. If your dive doesn't require first stage redundancy, why not just use an 80 with a K valve? If you are planning on using a Y valve as training wheels for doubles, I'd suggest just going right to doubles. If you're planning on using it for recreational dives, you don't need the redundancy, so just use an 80 with a k valve.
