Are there any better aftermarket hoses (silicone, etc) or do people just replace with BMW?

I replaced all my coolant hoses last weekend coincidentally, after my mickey mouse hose decided to disintegrate when sneezed on.. I went with the reinforced silicone full hose set from Vargas Turbo (mostly for aesthetic purposes, I'll admit, but the billet aluminium connectors coupled with silicone was a BIG plus). Whilst they weren't cheap, I could not be happier with the quality and fit (i'm not affiliated with VTT in any way, but I am a happy customer).
They were easy to fit except for the horseshoe, which was a proper PITA to get to. The bottom end of the mickey mouse was painful due to the orientation of the hose clamp. I suspect it was installed whilst the engine was out of the car originally.
Definitely a job I never want to have to do again.
