Standard PVC and Rubber air hoses are fine for construction work.
They're tough and can take a beating from boards falling on them,
wheelbarrows running over them, or dragging across floor decks.
Unfortunately, in a workshop they usually remember the coiled shape
and are like fighting a snake in the shop.
I recently bought a "Flexzilla" air hose (3/8 by 25' I think). I've
only used it a few times, but so far it does seem to stay flexible and
doesn't remember the coiled shape. I'm not crazy about the fluorescent
green color, but everything has it's negatives. 
I did have to buy my own quick disconnect fittings for the new air
hose.

I rather like the Neon Green color. If I was leaving it in place all the
time like a power cord, I might object, but that neon green really makes
the hose stick out. It's a benefit for when you're not expecting it.
