Default Garden hose or occasional use -- buy quality?

I may be needing another 200 or so feet of garden hose for a
work project. Might need the hose two or three times a year,
for use during the day.

Should I buy the cheap $7.97 lengths of 50 feet from
Walmart, or get the braided nylon good stuff for 14.97?

Don't want to go 100 feet, that's too clumsy to handle.
Since the hose is used one or two days a year, I'm leaning
toward the cheap hose, it won't get much use. And won't be
out in the sunshine for very long. The expensive stuff means
more credit card debt.

At home I buy the even better quality. For projects where I may be leaving
it overnight I buy the cheap stuff so the thieves won't bother to steal it.

The only thing I would point out is that the cheaper hoses have a tendecy to
kink even when new. On a 50 or 100 foot run I accept that as the cost of
doing business.
