Dale,
We used to run Aeroquip hoses at Republic. I actually really like them. The reusable fittings were really nice on hoses that had to flex a lot, or were prone to rubbing due to the flexing they had to do. There are hoses on those stupid garbage trucks that had to be replaced constantly because they rubbed holes in them. (They finally got smart and sleeved them.)
Running twice working pressure rating is a good idea. There is surge pressure to consider.
