Default Soaker or Dripline hose?

Really tired of cheap soaker hoses that spring leaks or don't convey water all the way.

Use for straight 50' line of roses.

Looked around on-line and became curious if -- in similar situations, e.g. line of ornamentals -- people have had luck with dripline. I've never tried it.

Another q. about soaker/whatever hoses: Is it worth the extra cost for rubber hoses rather than plastic? Some on-line comments suggest as much.

Any wisdom gratefully received.

LeeValley.com has wonderful soaker hoses.
