I'm in the market for 2 50' garden hoses. Everything I've bought
before kinks and disappoints me as far as quality goes. (even a couple
of the "no kink" ones I've bought)

In my experience the spool matters more than the exact type of hose.
For a while I went to Home Depot of Lowes and bought the heaviest model
of garden host they offered. None really prevented kinks but the
heavier hoses took longer.

Then I bought one of those large spools with the hand crank that stores
the host rolled up and dispenses the hose when pulled. Bingo, greatly
reduced kinks. So much so that I switched to focusing on how good the
interconnect hardware is not on how thick the rubber hose is. Cranking
the spool to reel in the hose handled the kinks. So I bought an even
bigger spool. I ended up with a coupe of crank spools big enough that I
could just barely pick them up. I could move them around my yard
without tools or move them longer distances using a two wheel dolly.
