O-Ring vs. Inverted flare on power steering box

[Cheveezy]

I just ordered a borgeson box that takes o-ring style fittings but also comes with the adapters for inverted flare. I already have hoses with 6AN so I am asking which would be the preferred way to go, o-ring or inverted flare? My gut tells me inverted but thought I'd ask the pros.

Anyone?

Maybe call Borgeson directly?

You can get adapters from o-ring to -6 AN like this from Summit to use your -6 lines.

I've used them with good results.

The inverted flare adapters will be similar to this but also require new lines.

Thanks. I already have inverted flare fittings with 6AN hose ends and Borgeson sent the inverted flare adapters. My question is which is a better option based on experience, o-ring or inverted flare?

It's really six or a half dozen. Since it's an O-ring box I'd stick with that. The O-ring setup requires less torque to seal (which is probably why GM switched to it), and you won't have to use an extra adapter.

Good input, thanks!
