One good reason for a shut-off valve behind the coupling is it's a lot easier to connect when there's no line pressure and avoids straining the bits and bobs the coupling's connected to on the compressor, especially the Chinesium castings.
I put lever valves on the end of my tank for reason of easy connection, but also to avoid loss of system air through leaks if I'm not using the main ring.
