Default SC300- Aftermarket Power Steering Line/Hose Questions

Noticed my ps line leaks, looking into aftermarket lines. So far I've found aftermarket lines by DM, ChaseBays, 3SX, and PHR ($$). General census DM is to long, leaning towards 3SX ($). Looking to use aftermarket to reduce clutter in that area but might just fix current hose if going aftermarket means losing IACV vacuum lines.

Questions for those with aftermarket ps lines.
1. Anyone able to use vacuum lines and sensor through AN t-fitting with aftermarket hose? Don't want to give up steering feel/idle below 1,000 rpm and make idle adjustments.
2. Any feedback related to long term use, durability, quality for DM (other than too long), ChaseBays, 3SX, and PHR ps lines?
3. Any alternative vacuum line/sensor routing/tapssource with aftermarket?

Car: 1992 SC300, stock 2jzge. Bought car couple days ago will be looking over next day or so.

Thanks

I've had two of the DMs on my car, one with the 1uz and one with a 2j and neither were too long. There needs to be some slack, but neither are too long where it is just coiling up; I believe the length was corrected some time ago. If you've never run without the vacuum, its not much different at all. My car still idles fine in hot and cold weather; hot and cold motor while turning the wheel. I see about a 150 rpm (one hundred fifty) fluctuation when turning the wheel. The only time I notice anything more is when I'm at full lock and holding. Even then its a very quiet fluid noise and about a 250rpm change. With my exhaust I cant hear it unless I'm under the hood at the time the wheel is turned. As for durability, no issues at all. Ran them both for a couple thousand miles without a problem.
