Are silicone hoses crap?
Are silicone hoses less abrasion resistant than good old rubber hoses. I saw a few threads from a frayed supercharger belt whip against a silicone hose and it cut right thru it. Are they junk?

They are superior in all ways except abrasion and cost. If you're abrading any type of hoses then you're doing it wrong 
If you expect destruction then it may be wise to cover the hose with a sheath .
