Default Hose type?

What has everyone been using for their typical (oil, fuel) hoses?

Aeroquip has both certified and "other".

Parker has Stratoflex.

Earl's has MANY (most are racing certified).

Russell (sp) (similar to Earl's).

I know the argument about certified vs. non, have used it myself more than once. I also know that at 200 mph in traffic, losing an oil line and going blind
for even a second or two at Daytona is life threatening, so I'm reasonably sure that NASCAR and NHRA have important standards also.

I'm going to try to use MOGAS in one tank, probably SUNOCO 93, which is what many of the street racers are running, so I'm reasonably satisfied that the racing type hoses (Earl's, et. al) will hold up.

Price is less of a concern than being able to get the stuff locally, and there's a bunch meore speed shops in Detroit than aircraft hose guys?

Comments? Concerns? Qualifications?

Thanks,

Dave
