Replacing oil cooler hoses

[Falcon_LS]

The engine oil cooler hoses on my '01 Grand Marquis are slightly weeping, and I'd like to address the issue before it gets bigger. I have four options available to me:

1. Genuine Ford replacement
2. Dorman standard replacement
3. Dorman heavy duty replacement (textured finish)
4. Get the hoses and o-rings replaced locally, reusing the connectors at each end

The forth option is pretty much the same as the first two, only without the $107 price tag on the OE replacement. That said, are the hoses on the HD version that much better? Here's a picture I found of the hose online. Thanks!

I usually avoid Dorman products but they do make the occasional decent part especially when they offer a good and better version of the same part.
The HD hose and connectors look good, if they were cheaper i would have no problem using them.

We make oil cooler hoses by welding barbs on the old ends then crimping new hose on. The hose we use is rated for oil,500+ degrees and 800 psi.
