Shrink wrap certainly does a nice finish, but clear poly sealer over the label is perhaps easier, especially when the hoses are already attached or connected and you are labeling them.

I use a home labeler and clear packaging tape. The tape and the label might lose its connection to the hose but the tape will stick to its self and remain as a ring around the hose.

For a highly resilient marker that you can maintain your calligraphy skills with, Amazon has a large selection markers called "Paint Pens", available in various colors. I have a couple of quality ones in white and gold. No label maker, heat shrink or packing tape req'd. Just don't smudge it!

I use the "paint pens" as suggested above. I also identify direction of flow as a visual aid.
Labeling the fuel lines over the years has helped greatly. I have a few manifolds and many different possible configurations of flow. Visual reminders help when trouble shooting.
