Booth air hose?

What are yall using and happy with for air hoses in your booth?
I used to run the run of the mill PVC hose, but it doesnt flex very well and gets harder over time(at least the one I had).
I switched to one of those ultra flexible rubber ons(the blue ones with the green stripe, sold at tractor supply and various other places). I love how the line feels, but it picks up any piece of stray dirt on the floor. I think my broom is cleaner after one job :)
Wondering whats out there that is still pretty flexible but doesnt pick up(then drop) as much dirt.

Four years ago I switched to all Flexzilla Pro air hose. http://www.flexzilla.com/air/ It's very lightweight, doesn't have the memory of other hoses, and the Pro version has reusable ends. I buy long lengths through eBay and some end fittings, then make up the exact length hoses I need for whichever application. Works great.

The non-Pro version has fixed fittings, so fixed lengths and can save a few dollars...., if that works for you.

Clean at least the first 6ft everytime before you spray. A little W&G remover on a rag cleans them right up.
 
No issues with the hose picking up more dirt than any other hose...., much less than some. Of course, using the Pro version, I made up a shorter "whip" section that seldom touches the floor, and gets wiped clean before each spray session.
I much prefer the reusable and flexible Pro fittings to the solid (and much stiffer) premade fittings, and the whip can be made up to exactly the length you choose.
 
Hmm, I will give it a shot later on and see how it works. Sometimes you never think of the obvious.
This is good, I have so much W&G remover I dont know what to do with it anyhow.. I have been using it for lighter fluid...
