I just did this job and purchased the Dorman lines from rockauto.com. They had the best pricing and they were delivered to my door in three days.

Edelman hoses are cheaper than Dorman however their site seems to show they only make products for power steering, trans coolers, brakes, oil coolers, etc. So I'm confused why they would be so cheap if that is what they 'specialize in'. Maybe they are/were the OE supplier??

I replaced the OE 2 crimp lines with the Dorman 3 crimp lines. Can't recall where I go them from as it was a few years ago. Not so sure I want to got with Dorman again. Might try to find a shop in town that can fashion something up for me.

I just pulled both my lines off and the hoses are really hard. I'm planning on stopping at a hydraulic hose shop and see what they suggest as far as something that is fairly durable and can stand up to motor oil. I think there is just something about old motor oil that rubber does not like.
