Default Should I buy steel reinforced washer hoses?

LOTS cheaper than cleaning up after a flood. Steel mesh is the only way

OK

Is any brand of steel mesh OK I guess?

Just buy whatever brand Lowe's or HD have?

Also, should I buy a water "pan" to set under washer as
well?

I don't know - I bought steel mesh hoses at Home Depot. About 3 years
later, I noticed puddles of water under the washer. Turns out the
steel hose was leaking from where the hose joins the fitting. I was
really disappointed given the price they charge for those hoses.
