Stainless Ribbed Radiator Hoses

I never liked ribbed hoses. But I haven't heard anything bad about them.

Thanks guys.

I've never liked them in the flexible rubber hoses. But, I've never seen these stainless ones on a car before.
The come in different colors too (powder coated).

I was thinking that black might look pretty good.
This is for my '55 Chevy Bel Air and I've got an aluminum radiator and core support but left them natural instead of polishing.

But, I was more concerned about reliability. I want to be able to drive this car across the country and not have to worry about stuff like this. I guess since the ends are rubber, they handle the movement and vibration from the engine so the metal doesn't crack over time.
