Default Coolant everywhere! Radiator hose question

So my lower radiator hose is leaking badly after a run through the forest, I think it was brittle and just finally went, luckily I have a Temp Guage installed and noticed it right away. Car is back home and fine, so I want to upgrade my radiator hoses, top and bottom. What is the best hose? Id like to go with the best brand possible, price is not an issue, but quality is. Stainless braided lines? Does anyone make a kit?

X2 on that. Only way to go. There is no benefit from braided unless your hose is rubbing or passing through something. Stock hoses are stronger than you think, chances are yours was just in bad shape.
