For my 911 I bought the set from Griffiths. I was also upgrading to add two condensers so the hoses are different.
The "clocking" of the hoses is important. If you take it to some local shop, make sure they have the fittings pointed to the proper direction to hook back up. There is a little bit of play for a rubber hose, but not much.

This is the thing to watch for. A local shop is not likely to have the exact fittings with the tubing and bending to match the stock hose. Griffiths has all this. There might be a way to reuse the fittings. If one hose is bad maybe others are as well. It is a considerable effort to evacuate/pump down the system and then add back the refrigerant and some oil. Might as well do all the hoses and be done with it for the next 20 years.
