We've got both DIN and A-clamp and, as we gradually cycle through are kit
are replacing A-clamp with DIN.

Personally, all my kit is DIN (twinsets and single tanks).

In the club, the majority of our cyliders are DIN with a insert. All the
club regs are A-clamp.

The regs are A-clamp as it's easier to tell that the dust/water cap is
on and the reg is safe for washing/transporting. There is less chance of
damaging the A-clamp regs with grit.

When folk buy their first set of regs they are encouraged to go for DIN.
