One other system to consider that has already been mentioned
is the Precise Flight system.  They have a neat demand conserver
that does a good job at reducing O2 consumption rates too.

I put together this page a while back and it has a photo of the
conserver.
http://www.myrv10.com/tips/accessories/oxygen/index.html

It doesn't require those large oxy-saver cannulas, but uses
a "sensing" cannula, that automatically opens and closes the
demand unit when you inhale.  You dial in the altitude on a
wheel on the bottom (or you can set it to continuous too),
and that adjusts the flow rate.  I got it because I was too
broke to add a full-blown pulse system, and O2 is only used
on the longer flights in our plane, so this doesn't require
batteries, or a permanent installation, yet still gives
much better conservation of O2 than the oxy-saver cannulas
did.

Just one to check out if you're not going to a fully installed
system.
