    Trident vs Shieldsflex II

    Hi all, going to start on the project of replacing all of the hoses to the heads. I'm hoping this will be the last time I will need to do this, so I don't want to skimp on the quality of hoses. I was going to use wet exhaust/water hose, the flexible kind with wire reinforcement. Either Trident or Shieldsflex II has them, has anyone had experience with either one that would warrant using one brand over the other? I've used Shieldsflex II in the past with good results, but it can be difficult to get over a barbed hose fitting, even heating the hose first & using lube. Or would you recommend something different? These are the supply hoses, going from the thru-hull to the Galleymaid pump & up to the head, some under the waterline of course. 3/4 & 1 inch hoses.

    Thanks,
    Randy

    Alfagoma is a great hose, dual oposing wires and very flexible.
