Rubber hoses will last longer if they are not black since they do not absorb as much sunlight, but rubber will be your best bet for flexibility when cold.

I'm not near as concerned about how long they last as I am about how stiff they get when running very cold water.

I hate to say it, but you may want to just buy the less expensive ones and plan on replacing them more often! do a search at Grainger.com and compare these items: 1P864; 2P562; 1P650; 2P098.
