I have DaVinci splitters on my Bombadil (after seeing Seth's setup... thanks, Seth). I use them for my derailleur cables only. Since I'm running V-brakes, I've set up each bar setup with it's own brake cable down to the noodle, which requires unfastening the cable at the brake; no big deal... it's quick.
I have my derailleur splitters just below the downtube shifter braze- ons; just my personal preference. I can swap between my Noodles and Bullmoose setup in less than five minutes!! Pretty cool.
