Given they're about the same price, I don't see any reason to consider the combo fitting. The benefit in added flexibility of the separate compression fitting and angled adapter will be apparent when you tear down, reconfigure, and rebuild your rig.

I never ever buy combo fittings. Also, I hate BP compressions and prefer old XSPC compressions. The BP tear at your fingertips and don't actually hold that great. BP changed their nozzle design a lil bit, they put some small ridges on to address their weakness. Their nozzles use to be not have those ridges.

thanks for the input guys

so you guys would prefer the combination of 90 degree adapter plus the compression fitting instead of the former

There's no great gain to a combo fitting but the downside is you can't use those two combo'd pieces separately. You lose lot of flexibility.

Exactly this. You can use the combo in your current build, but 6 months from now when/if you want to change things, it's nice to have the option to split the 90 from the compression fitting.
