Coolant Hoses

So I am going to start my tear down this weekend to basically rebuild my engine after my oil cooler failed, which we have discussed thoroughly this week. The only thing I don't have ordered yet are the replacements for my rubber hoses. i haven't done a lot of research on this yet, but are there any other hoses than oem replacement i should consider. I saw some sites selling stainless steel flex hoses in different color finishes, but could find much other info on them. Should i just stick with the oem replacements? Or are there any other suggestions out there.

I pulled my motor and went back with the stock hoses. Am happy with them other then the lower radiator was expensive. It does have the added shielding to prevent rubbing though. So far so good.
