Recommendation for Air Hose Replacement – Self-Serve Bays

I’m looking to replace the air hoses in my self-serve bays and would appreciate your recommendation on the best long-lasting option.

Should I consider the more affordable black poly tubing, such as this one: https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-38148-kleen-rite-kl02700001-black-polytubing-1-4in-x-100-ft.aspx
Or would a higher-grade nylon poly tubing be a better choice: https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/c-211-polytubing.aspx

I'm prioritizing durability and want something that will last for years. Are there any other options you would recommend for high-quality air tubing?

Thanks in advance.
 
I only buy Parker hose. 30 years and 60 bays I only use engineered hose. The black poly from kleen Rite is junk. What ever brand you buy if hose doesn’t have printed specs on hose do not buy. Air break tubing is good also
 
Nylon is generally better but make sure it's either black in color or if natural color, get one that's UV stabilized.
 
I ordered several thousand feet of nylon 12 from hoses and fittings .com and was happy with the quality. Longevity I don’t know yet.
 
Thank you. Do you know where I can find 1/4-inch black nylon tubing that’s UV stabilized? Kleen-Rite is currently out of stock. If you have a link, I’d appreciate it if you could share it.
