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.

I'm still using the cheap, yellow flexible things. Haven't replaced
one in years and they stay out year round, draped over anything
convenient or just lay on the ground. Yes, they kink by just looking
at them but it only takes a few seconds to walk the lenght and unkink
after stretching them out.
