quote; Y's are always better then combo's if you have the room
Now why would you say that? If you need to connect at a 45 degree angle, then you NEED a Y, but if the connection is at a 90 degree angle, then a combo is EXACTLY the same as a Y and 1/8 bend. If you roll a Y up on an angle then you have "destroyed" the 45 degree angle and have to compensate with another fitting of some kind. WHERE the sink, or anything else, connects is usually immaterial, assuming the rest of the system is done correctly, but it could depend on the exact configuration of the rest of the piping.
