If you think you'll want to run both simultaneously on occaision, or want to have two work stations, then you'll want to run a short length of hose from your tanks into a pair of "Y" valves (one for propane, one for oxygen). I would recommend getting the kind with shut-off handles so that you can turn the gas off to the un-used torch if you're only using one at a time. You can then run independent sets of hoses to each torch, but you don't necessarily have to have quck-connects if you plan on leaving each torch installed permanently.
If you know you'll only ever use one torch or the other at any given time, I would add the safety style quick connects (have built in flashback arrestors instead of just reverse-flow check vavles) to one torch, inbetween the torch and the end of the hose run. You can buy a second set of quick-connects for the other torch, but I believe Arrow Springs sells the male ends separately, so that you don't end up with an extra main quick-connect body with the internal FB that you won't end up using. Saves a little extra money.
Hope that makes sense
