Default Radiator hoses

Guys,

As part of my rebuild I just purchased a PWR radiator with an internal oil cooler to replace the Laminova that came with the Kraftwerks s/c kit. My question is, should I replace the hoses with a silicone ones (Mishimoto, Samco etc.) or are the stock ones just fine?

I hear OEM are fine, Samco is for the bling, and I may be wrong, but someone told me that the actual diameter of the samco are slightly smaller?

i saw the products in SEMA its pretty cool and very difficult to break. They even add LED's to the radiator hose to make the fluid glow.
