I like heavy black rubber hoses because they don't kink, and they last a
long time.

I bought a reinforced vinyl 5/8" hose at Big Lots a couple of years ago
and it's holding up well. It's very light weight (when it's empty), the
only problem is it kinks so easily.

They are all heavy when full of water, but you can reduce that by buying
a 1/2" hose instead of a 5/8 or 3/4.

Good luck,
Bob
