I own sets that use transparent hose from the pump to the switch and black
to the pistons, and a set where grey is used from the pump to the switch and
black to the pistons. In the 8868, the black hoses become quite the head
ache, and i always find myself flipping between pages to make sure each hose
goes to the right place. I don`t own any blue hoses, and I have 2 different
types of black hose. Personally i think black is the best since that is what
real hydraulic hoses USUALLY are. We have some green at home and I saw
orange hydraulic hose the other day.
