Which hose set up is the best? The early one with equal lengths, or the 
later one with the long and short one? I need to replace my hoses and 
would rather only do in once (more). The braiding on the ones I 
installed a less than five years ago has worn through in a couple of 
places from rubbing against each other. Thanks in advance for your 
reply. I don't care much about authenticity. Just that it work and last.
