I find this bias against braided hose baffling. I've been using german braided hose for the last 13 years and haven't had any problems exept with old fuel hose that came with the car. Last time I bought the braided hose was at the vw dealer. I don't think it was more than a year ago. At the Porsche Audi shop I worked at a few years ago cloth braid was used as a replacement on all cars that used it stock, again with no problems. I believe mercedes is still using this hose. If the hose was really that bad these cars wouldn't use it as their reputations (and companies) couldn't survive the consequence.
