The PTFE hose is a much better choice.[IMO]
We use Fragola hose and fittings. They have the braided PTFE hose w/ a choice of colors for the covering.
Have "heard" of Summit fittings failing when tightening them. [Haven't seen it in person.] A "Google" may help w/ this.

I used the normal Jegs Nylon line and never noticed any "smell" like most people say. My garage is pretty sealed up and never walked in smelling e85.
