Why are you getting mi-flex hoses for sidemount? They are floaty, take a set and stay somewhat kinked, and are not friendly to drysuit neck seals or the little hairs on your neck/arms.
They are also recommended to be replaced every two years.
They also are known to kink shut. I and some other tech instructors I know did/do not allow mi-flex hoses on regulators for that reason.
Rubber hoses last longer, are not prone to kinking, and don't abrade seals of skin.
Get black rubber hoses and forget the mi-flex.
Miflex Inflator Hose Failure
I've had two failures this year with the Schrader valve in two Miflex LP inflator hoses. The first was last May when I was in Bali, resolved quickly by changing the hose to a normal rubber hose. On my way home I bought another Miflex hose in Singapore. Yesterday when gearing up using a...

15 (+?) years of use, treating them like bad dogs.
Once again, I’ve beaten the odds? No probs.
I like them.

The replacement recommendation from Miflex is five years, not two. Five years is the industry standard I think for all hoses. I have not had any issues with Miflex or the lesser expensive braided hoses from Piranha and DGX. I rather like them. Sidemount use, I cannot comment.

Check out DGX for color hoses. They also have some good info on braid vs. rubber.
I'm building another reg set and am going to use their double braid.
Cost wise, 5 year replacement is a drop in the bucket for all hoses.

All scuba hoses are recommended to be replace every five years, not just Miflex hoses, from DGX as an example:
Every five years has been the recommendation for as long as I can remember.
