re-rigging

I'm currently in the process of a complete re-rigging the engines on my boat, I am to the point of hoses Water/oil/fuel/trim/planes. Should I use Stainless braided or good marine black rubber hose's.

What I like about the black is you can see a leak better than the SS and as advised SS is a bleeding pain to work with. I think I will go with you guy's on this, besides I'm not looking for bling on the set-up, just all business.
