    I am not sure if there is much difference as long as there is some fabric reinforcing to reduce stretch under pressure or temp. The important thing to ensure is the mating metallic tube connections have a rib like a hose barb to stop the hoses slipping off, and I have found the bolted clamps are better than the screw blade utilux band clamps. Try for the stainless ones if you can as they hold their finish better and wont get attacked as readily re corrosion.

    I have a preference for Raceworks. A bit thicker and also precise in their sizes. Oh, and they have nice white writing on them too..
