Going to replace my upper radiator hose (351C). What have people been running with good luck? Not looking for concourse correct, looking for something that will hold up to a lot of driving.  Also what size clamps are used? I used the heat shrink ones and have not decided if that's what I am going back with yet.

 
I got hoses from Rockauto and Im pretty sure I got the Continental ones. Working great for me and no problems so far. And I know some people dont like the gear clamps but thats what I have since they were easy to get and work fine for me. I just dont remember size, I think it was 2 1/4" but I could be wrong. And Im glad I used them since I had to fiddle with the thermostat housing leaking so it went on and off a few times. 

 
Never had an issue with any hoses I installed regardless of brand. Recycled from parts cars - yes. I'd just get the hoses from whatever works for you.  For clams, I bought a couple boxes of the Gates clamps for silicone hoses, which keep the rubber from extruding through the slots.
