If you could locate one properly, a PVB would provide the highest level of protection (no future reworking) with about the same pressure loss as the DCVA
I have 3/4" coming into the meter. I tested pressure on my spigot outside and I have 75-80psi, but that is on half inch. I plant to use 1" for the sprinkler system, how much pressure loss will I get? Currently it immediately drops down to 1/2" just after the meter. This is how I plan to tap into the system for my sprinkler system. Does it look ok? Any concerns?

Boots, don't go pushing PVB's. In a lot of areas, they are illegal. Yes, they do have about the same pressure loss as a DCVA, but no where on this planet do they provide the highest level of protection.
