I replaced ours in 2012 with original equipment hose. I mitigated the problem not by changing material, but by installing a longer section than the factory did. When I carefully analyzed things and measured, the original's loop could've moved another couple inches before hitting anything when the slide moves in, and a larger-ranging loop during slide-out would've meant less stress near where it mounted to the hard pipe, and perhaps no kink there.
The kink, as many of us discovered, means cracking at the kink; subsequent leaking of kitchen sink drain water there, which if hidden under cabinetry may not show up until unpalatable smells instigate an investigation, or water gets under tiles destroying adhesion or damages things in the bays. If you're lucky, slow drain flow gets you looking sooner rather than later.
For those that haven't reached that point, it might behoove them to check their hose, when the galley slide is out, to see if it's developing a weakening flex or a kink near where the hose connects to the black floor pipe.
