I hate to be pedantic, but there's no such thing - the ATX range are modified TX second stages. The first stages remain the same, either DS4 or DST.

I personally recommend you get the DS4, which is the non-turret version. You don't need the swivel on a twinset.

Your described hose routing is pretty much the same as mine, only I have my LP hoses the other way around, with the wing on the main and the drysuit on the left. Mainly because I put more air into the suit on descent than the wing, so it spreads the load a bit.

(There's also the DIR argument that if you've handed over your main and the backup doesn't work, you can breathe off the wing inflator if it's on the right post...)
