I bought all earls for my pervious setup...but I now bought a maxrev kit which came with aeroquip and they seem to be the same good quality.

The only real difference is the fittings.

I know that earls makes the swivle fittings that make installing the lines a whole lot easier...

Earls also has the anti-bling black anodized fittings.

I remember someone, I think it was Dustin, posting that Aeroquip fittings did not work as well or at all with Earls Performo-flex line.

That's strange. I don't think there is any difference in quality between the brands, though. Any of those brands would've been fine with me, but I went with Goodridge stainless fittings because they were the only company to sell a stainless steel banjo to -3an adapter. What do I know though, they are the only ones I've ever used besides the Greddy fittings.

well for one, for Earl's, the speed flex, will not work with perform-o-flex hose ends and vice versa...

it wasn't the brand, it was the fact that it was two different kind of lines..

speedflex is a little tighter flare and it is teflon coated, versus the perform-o-flex is a standard 37 deg flare and synthetic rubber lining

Goodridge makes swivel fittings as well...but as far as weird *** selections of adapters and inverted flaring, Earl's has more selection than goodridge, aeroquip and etc...

I have all aeroquip for oil and they are fine...I managed to bust a goodridge fitting when installing my brake hoses, which was really lame. It might have been my fault, but I was squeezing both wrenched together with one hand! so, it wasn't THAT much force...
