I don't have an issue with swivels on hoses but steer away from manufacturer "special" hoses. Apart from being offended from being "forced" to buy their special hoses at an excessive rate, there is also the risk of having a hose failure and not being able to easily get a replacement. Got caught at Truk when I blew a quick disconnect HP hose and not a hope in hell of getting a replacement or even fitting a standard HP hose. I now replace any "non standard fittings" with standard. If I cant do this on the item, I simply buy from another manufacturer, and then never buy anything from the other manufacturer ever again on principle.
