Neither. Flex PVC is probably the best.

Here's a pic of 1" Spa Flex Hose. It will last forever. I use it on all of my returns. I use rigid tubing for the overflows though.

Reqular PVC primer and solvent work on this type of hose. It also comes in black. You can also use regular PVC fittings with it.

I think the seaswirl would be the best, but it does tap the billfold. But.....since everything in this hobby costs bucks, who's counting?
