Default Vacuum hose replacements?

Hey guys, So i should be getting my Jeep any day now (rear main seal being replaced) and i know i have some vacuum hoses that will need to be replaced so my question is this. I read that people were replacing the plastic hoses with rubber hoses instead... is there anything in particular that i need to get since i dont know how much of a vacuum the things produce I dont want the hoses collapsing on themselves when theyre turned on..... if that makes sense?

Thanks Randy

Just get quality hose from NAPA or your local hose supply house. And if your transitioning from rigid plastic to rubber be sure to slip enough rubber hose onto the plastic so it doesn't easily fall off from the vibrations, etc. Also mind the routing so as not to cause heat or abrasion issues.
