I like option E with double barb banjos on the carbs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
But it would depend on the type and range of regulator. Second choice would be option D with a Y feeding carbs.

To make sure I understand correctly, C and D would require a bypass style regulator while B and E would use blocking type. Do I have that right?

Yes, except that in option B the upstream regulator is useless. A blocking regulator is needed downstream.

We had a 914 here recently which came with a single carb that had an internal regulator. It needed the return line to work.
Otherwise I don't think I've ever seen a 914 with a carb setup in my shop (other than stock 914-6) that used a return line.
