Radiator Hose replacement

What would you recommend a 3 Ply-Silicone or 4 Ply-Silicone hose? Thinking of changing the hoses since I'll be putting my Mishimoto aluminum radiator.

I would like some blue samco or spoon hoses

They look sweet!

If price is the same for 3 and four ply just go 4. Seems like the more plyes the more durable

Thanks yeah those brand name hoses are nice to have but can't afford it to so might as well get a red 4-ply silicone hose to replace stock one for like $50.
