Default hose pipe diameter: which to choose?

Hello,

I need to buy a hose pipe that will reach from the patio, across the
lawn, to the driveway behind it. I think it is about 30 metres, so
plus some room to manouvre, I think I will be looking at a 50m hose
pipe. I need it to wash the car and also to try and clean an oil spill
off the paving!

I was going to go with something like this:

which is not supposed to twist or kink, but I also saw this:
http://www.screwfix.com/p/hose-yellow-50m-x/97963

which according to the reviews, can kink, but it is 3/4" diameter
rather than 1/2".

Which would you buy?

I am wondering whether the 3/4" is better, particularly for long
lengths, as it might have a greater flow and less internal resistance?

Thanks,
Stephen.
