Can't see that there is going to be any difference in the hoses as it is such a basic easy material to make, despite them being overpriced.
I would use group a up to around 400.
I have used comectic apart from head and they are ace and reuseable.

because people who don't know how to fit them properly, or who did not follow the simple instructions have had problems with them. there used to be some problems with the older type of gasket, but all issues have been resolved now
