Alot of people that I have worked with in the past and in the commercial business swear by Gates. Course they are just black rubber. But I have seen them contorted into odd shapes and still going 100,000+ miles. Heck I have 260,000 miles on the Gates hoses in my Powerstroke and they do not appear dry rotted or anything... If that doesn't look good enough for you, you could always put those covers on them like krazy texan wrote
