Jack,
The S hose replacement which you posted, unlike the cool coller, has some place to radiate to. At least on the side away from the headers. It is probably better than the cool collar while the vehicle is in motion. When stopped it will absorb radiant heat from the header. This is the primary cause of S hose deterioration. On my car I put an air gap insulator between the S hose and the header to prevent this problem.
The problem with the cool collar is that there is not really any cool place to radiate to, nor is there a strong flow of air across it to promote convective cooling.
