I have two choices for hoses. New ones that are just like stock (made of same stuff as stock, just in shorter lengths) or the Gates submersible "rubber hose cut-to-length" stuff. Either option is available.

From the Gates Rubber Company Website (this is for SAE30R10 submersible hose):

Key Features and Benefits

Engineered for constant contact with fuel (and other liquid petroleum distillates) on the inside and the outside.
Meets the SAE 30R10 specification for submersible fuel line hose applications.
Fluoroelastomer (FKM) construction of the outer cover resists fuel permeation and retards aging.
Aramid fibre cord reinforcement offers higher working pressures and increased burst strength.
Suitable for use with E85 ethanol blended fuels.
