What I meant was its your life in your hands,any clown can walk along the street and put a pinhole in your rubber flexy hose, it is more difficult with braided hose and they are much more durable.
Flexy,s on a car are more out of direct view and a little less likely to get damage.

The difference in price could save your life/claim on insurance.
