      Any recommendations? I'm actually in the market for one. Probably about 50 feet.

      2/ first: realize that they come in two diameters, 1/2" and 5/8". Couplers are the same size, so they're intercompatible. Get the 5/8", if you care about water flow. Second: they come in grades: lightweight, standard, pro. Pro is best: they will not permanently kink.

      3/ I've gotten 5/8" pro grade from several vendors and they're all pretty good. Spendy, but worth it. Better to cry once than cry every few years throwing away crappy hoses.

      4/ There are brass quick release fittings available. Like air hose quick releases, but bigger. Also spendy. Also VERY VERY VERY worth it. I've equipped every hose, faucet, and sprinkler with them.

      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.
