Default Soaker hoses?

Any recommendations for a soaker hose? Last year we bought a
sprinkler/soaker hose -- don't recall the brand -- at Lowe's. but toward
the end of the season it was spurting water from a split in the side
near the feed end. This year I cut off the part with the split and
attached a new connector. No there is a new split from which water gushes.

Are soaker hoses fundamentally unsatisfactory, or are there some durable
ones around?

You may have too much pressure. what is your pressure measured at the
hose hydrant? I blew one up several times with our 110+ psi. You may
want to regulate if it's over 80.
