5/ Beware of mixing and matching brands if you're screwing them directly together. Different allows will result in galvanic corrossion, welding them together.

6/ First advice: get the quick releases. Failing that, get some teflon plumber's tape to wrap threads w before connecting, to prevent the galvanic welding.

7/ My farm book has an entire chapter on garden hoses, but it's not going to be published until 2019 or so, so that's no help right now. Sorry.

8/ Oh, they also come in 3/4" diameter. I've done a spreadsheet of gallons per hour per dollar spent on hoses. 3/4" dia hoses aren't worth it.

9/ So far all of my hoses have been vinyl (I think). I bought a rubber one today specifically to see how it compares (research for the farm book). https://twitter.com/DavidCorbettSA/status/1012038846803070978 …

10/ Oh, re vendors: E.M. Leonard is very good. They sell hoses. Haven't purchased one from them, but based on other things they sell, I'd suggest them as a safe bet. I have several NeverKink hoses. Great quality, but THICK and HEAVY. Hard to store.

11/ Garden hose reel carts are nice, but almost a necessity when you're talking about 100 or 200 feet of 5/8" premium hose. I can recommend E M Leonard's product.
