I would have no problem with the A clamp regulator. However, a single cylinder and stage is an "interesting" combination.

If you're using the stage for redundancy and you truly need the redundancy, then a twin set is the GUE preferred solution. If the dives are single tank dives then good gas management and team skills are the way forward.

EDIT: I may have made a mistake in reading your post. If you mean stage as in having a single 1st stage, then this is also fine. If you mean stage as in a pony, side slung, thing then it isn't fine
