What kind of hose do you use from your Regulator to your bank of Secondaries?

[LuminousBrewer]

I'm curious as to what hoses everyone uses from their regulator to their secondaries? I've seen Air Hoses and High Pressure Hoses. What do you use and why?

I use the same type I use for my serving lines. Bought 100 foot roll, so didn't see a reason to buy something else.

Tank to primary - stainless braided HP hose (~800psi)
Primary to secondary - vinyl hose (~30 psi)
Secondary to kegs - vinyl hose (~8-15 psi)

I use rubber air hose because that is what I had laying around...This is what fascinates me most about homebrewers. Ask a homebrewer what they use for a certain build or equipment and you'll have the most inventive answer with three possible solutions. Dennis Leary once said, "They say Marijuana leads to other drugs....No it leads to carpentry!" I think the same could be said for homebrewing. That it leads to carpentry.

My vinyl hoses get extremely stiff in the fridge, it's a bit of a pain. Not enough of a pain to re-run it all, but if i had to do it over again...

Depending on wall thickness, etc, regular old vinyl hose is generally rated between 50-150psi. So it's more than good enough for the primary-secondary hose.
