Air Line Replacement

I've torn the hatch area apart in an effort to mount a backup camera. While everything is opened up, I was wondering: What's the latest thought regarding replacing the air lines?

I would replace the hatch hose at the least as if is so hard to get to if it fails and the hatch is locked. You must use urethane hose though and not the cheap PVC used now.

Has anyone done this, and is there a recommended brand and vendor?
