Advice needed for hose replacement

I need to get a recommendation on what type of hose to use on my boat going from the through hose fitting to the strainers and the to the raw water pump. I was working in my bilge the other day and decided to clean my strainers. When i went to isolate the system several valves became inoperable. I was lucky enough to get both main valves closed but one of them the the stem broke on it. After further investigation ( and several other valves failing) I discovered that all of the valves in the system were globe valves made in China. I have already gone out and bought new valves (brass groco 1/4 turn with Stainless Steel inners) but i need to replace all of the hoses in the system. Can someone point me in the right direct on the proper hose to use and any other tip that will insure that I have a safe reliable system. Thanks
