Power steering hose question

I am going to replace the high pressure power steering hose in my 75 C10 truck and want to replace the low pressure hose while I am at it.

What is the advantage to using low pressure power steering hose over fuel injection rubber hose?

I have 3/8 inch fuel injection hose but will purchase some low pressure PS hose if needed.

No difference really, they are both oil resistant and return pressure is only about 30-35 #. I'd do it if that's what I had around. I'd recommend a filter though
