Default Air hose information sought

I need to buy some 25-foot air hoses. The black rubber one that came
with the $100 Chinese compressor from Costco is already looking ratty,
with cracks in the jacket. I assume lack of oil resistance is the
problem, as the cracks are exactly where I most handle the hose with
dirty hands. Or it may be fatigue. Or both.

So, I'll be buying a new hose or two real soon now, and would like some
advice on what to seek and what to avoid, by type and by make and model.

The hose is used indoors, in a HSM shop. Lots of chips and oil, and
other metal-cutting fluids (like Rustlick WS5050). Will be walked on
from time to time. Hose must lay down where put, not coil up and fight
my every move, not become a trip&fall hazard.

Thanks,

Joe Gwinn
