Silicone hose for brake booster

Hey guys,

Just looking at running all my vacuum lines and was just wondering if anyone has used silicone hose for the brake booster?

I'm thinking I will need something like this:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-par ... 333492.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

which is reinforced rather then the cheap stuff that I'm guessing would collapse.

Anyone have any experience with this?

And before anyone asks about just running standard black hose - I will if I need to, however I have had to use blue silicone for the intercooler joiners due to black not being available in some of the more exotic reducing bends I have had to use, so I am trying to be consistant here so I don't have a mix of colours.

Cheers

silicon hose will work fine, as will a fibre reinforced rubber hose.

I would use proper vaccuum hose. But thats just my preference.
