I really like the "wye" style fittings of various connection styles. In some cases are cleaner to package than a "tee" fitting and I believe they flow better than a "tee" fitting if that is a concern.

I am also a huge fan of manifold mount solenoid valves, another part I wasn't aware of until recently. They make pneumatics easier to install, have fewer leaks, and package nicely.
