Home depot, swimming pool hose (nylon reinforced). That will start the argument on fire rated hose. But is what I used.

I like the clear so I can see if there is anything in them, black probably looks better.

Clear hose from HD works fine , the trick is to find a store  that has a new roll so you get some from the beginning, If you get the last piece it has been flattened/squashed that its nearly impossable to get round again

Anything wrong with using a black hose? What kind of black hose can you use?

Black radiator hose swells and gets real rubbery with oil saturation, Oil resistant (NAPA green or gold stripe) hose gets expensive and is sold by the inch, Flat (blue) discharge hose looks like crap

X4 on the Home Depot hose but just be warned that it's not very flexible.
