Does anyone know why this isn't in the How To forum? Also, what is the verdict on Viton versus Silicone versus standard vacuum hose?

Also, there is some confusion on hardness and durometer. The Viton is offered in 60A and 75A durometer. They are both considered very flexible. 60A is soft and 75A is firm, not the other way around. The how to document says to order the 60A but then says to order firm. That is contradictory. So which do we want? 60A soft or 75A firm?
