Default Flash Back Arrestors?

I'm starting a new thread based on Dave Deyton's good question about adding safety features to welding outfits.

What's the difference between the flashback arrestors that mount to the torch, and those that mount to the regulators? Should you use both? If only using one, which is best?

David G's comments about safety have gotten me rethinking my three O/A rigs and their safety features. Been using regulator arrestors for 3 decades. Maybe need torch ones too?

Kent's point that you can overthink all this is also true, as I've welded 32 years (self taught) and never had a problem and certainly DON'T want Big Brother sticking his nose in my shop.

Ideas? Opinions?
