laundry and sink in basement
I need some helping figuring out what to do here. Plan is to run new copper from the ceiling down to laundry and new sink I'm putting in right next to the washing machine. This is what is there now

Should I keep what's there and just T off and go over to the sink or should I mount one of the laundry boxes and come up from the bottom? Meaning come down from the ceiling and go down and them turn around and go back up to the box kit. or is there other options?
And yes my plan is to move the electric over and make it a GIF.
I'm talking like this

I would just screw the back of the box to the concrete wall.
or

If there is other options that are better, please let me know.
Thanks

I would use what you have and T off for the new sink. Laundry boxes are designed for installation into a finished wall, something you don't have so I wouldn't install one.

I agree, it looks like your valves are decent and reasonably new, so why replace what's there.
If you really want to, you can change to the single-lever option, but I'm not usually a fan of replacing things that work and still have serviceable life in them.
