swivels vs 90s

I have swivels on both of my sidemount regs right now. I think however that I will change out my left swivel for a fixed 90. I have my long hose on my right side and I don't think a 90 would be that great for sharing air. Does anyone have any experience sharing air with a 90? is it a PITA or does it work just fine?

Fixed 90s for the sidemount regs, no swivels or 90s on stages or backmount regs.

Swivels on the sidemount gear so far. Might change over to a 90 on the left side soon. The only redeeming feature to the omni is that you can remove it and get to your gas in an emergency, If you carry a wrench.

90's work just fine sharing air. Used 90's on my long hose in my full cave along with side mount and never even gave it a thought until I read this thread.

I seem to recall seeing a "new" scubapro swivel claiming "360" rotation - rotates in three planes? I could google it and see it I can track it down, but thought most likely someone here is using it and can tell more.

It looks like the omniswivel I've been badmouthing. Maybe I'll order one and take a look at it. Although I'm pretty sure it's the same thing.
