What connectors does everyone use to connect reel hose to pole?

im currently using hose lock metal connectors but was thinking of changing to the easy snap connectors from gardeners.

Rectus 26,don't bother getting the rectus 21 as the 26 are more durable and will last a lot longer.

with a short length of 1/2" hose and a barbed reducer so it fits on to microbore
