I used nylon braided hoses. I didn't want the stainless steel, as it will destroy anything it touches and/or rubs on, as in FIBERGLASS!
Lenny and I cut, assembled, and installed all the hoses for my dry sump system in a few hours. That's like nine or ten hoses. 18 or 20 fittings.
The cost difference between nylon and SS isn't much, but I didn't poke a single strand into a single finger. I use the nice steel straps that are covered in a plastic sleeve.
