Does the quality of air lines matter or should I just buy the cheapest ones from amazon?

How much do you plan on handling and using it? I like the red rubber hoses. No pvc or hybrid bullshit, they are terrible in real world use. The pvc ones are stiff when cold and have a memory effect real bad. While the hybrid ones are better, they still suck compared to a good rubber hose. Get some ferrules and a crimper and learn how to put a proper end on them because they will break at the ends of the hose 99% of the time as that is where the worst flexing happens. Hose clamps are bulky and suck ass compared to a proper crimped ferrule.

This is a proper air hose crimper and will make your hose ends look better than factory and a pleasure to use. You can grind the old ferrules off of factory hose ends and re-use the barb fitting as long as you don't cut too deep and mess the barbs up.

Go by the pressure rating for that hose.
The cheap ones will have a low rating, or they won't disclose it if that's something they can get away with where you are. The higher rated ones will be more expensive. If you need higher rated ones, get higher rated ones.
