Are the inflator hoses standard for all BC's - or is the hose I need dependant on the BC I have and use?

When you buy a BC, it should come with an appropriate length hose. I *think* the quick disconnect is pretty standard among different brands, but you may want a different length hose depending on your BC setup.
I had a "generic" BC inflator hose that was long enough for a typical jacket style BC. When I bought my BP/W, it came with a shorter hose, more appropriate for that style of BCD. (a longer hose would loop out instead of staying streamlined over your shoulder).

All - thanks for the great input.
