The second link is $5 cheaper and rated for 400 degrees rather than 300. I'd go with that. But you need PTFE fittings.

Unrelated, but are you on reddit?

The Summit line will work fine. I have personally read great reviews about Aeroquip line.

A few of my friends are making over 700 WHP on Earl's line and my brother runs Summit line on his RX-7 and we have not had any issues.

In recent years various fuel manufactures may have added any number of new unpublished additives to their fuel blends. Due to this fact it is very difficult for hose manufacturers to know how the inner liner of their elastomeric tube compounds will react with a given fuel. Because of these unknowns we are unable to guarantee that the hoses we provide are the best possible products to use with any specific fuel. The most commonly reported issue being a fuel odor that permeates from the hose. If there is any doubt regarding the fuel you plan to run we recommend that you select a PTFE lined hose for your application.

Make sure whatever you get is rated for E85. Even if you are only going to run E10. A lot of the line that is not ethanol rated will be eaten alive by even E10.

I had to re-do a few lines in my bay when they started weeping. Bought some SAE30R14 spec stuff and haven't had a problem since.
