Default Garden hose or occasional use -- buy quality?

Hoses tend to break where people crease them to cut off water flow
(instead of using the faucet), when they're run over by something
(lawn mower) or when they're full of water with a closed nozzle/
sprayer on the end and then left out in the hot sun (water expands).
If none of those apply then it's way cheaper to get the cheap hose and
if necessary keep an extra 50' as a spare (unless of course running to
the store if it breaks is an option, then you don't need the spare).

If hoses didn't last a dozen uses nobody would own hoses.
