I haven't had any straight connectors fail at least.
I'll gladly take them if you are serious.

Pay the money and get good hoses from quality suppliers. Like mikeinatlanta says, Aeroquip or Fragola are good.

I know these are for oil lines, but if you are replacing fuel lines, lots of nice looking fuel hoses degrade quickly with today's gasoline.
As an FYI: I spent some time on the phone with both Aeroquip and Fragola regarding compatibility with modern fuels. They both told me that every hose they sell will degrade with E-10 and recommend a five year replacement, including the Teflon. Same story for E-85 except for a 2 year replacement recommendation. I questioned some of Fragola's literature which states alcohol compatibility and he told me: "It is, for a while".
