Replace turbo coolant lines with....what?

What's the consensus on the jiffy-tite fittings for the 3.5L turbo cooling lines? And what might be better alternatives?

I'll go first. I don't like them. If the tube isn't exactly, perfectly, concisely, straightly inserted, they leak, even with a new set of fittings.

Has anyone replaced these with some normal compressing fittings and tubing? What worked for you?

There's definitely got to be something better.

Thanks.

I had the coolant line replaced on my right turbo on my 2013 with all Ford Motorcraft parts and so far no issues. I don't know if I would trust aftermarket in this case.
