I would be interested to hear how the Shields hose works for you. It certainly sounds good. Whose lifetime is a very good question. I found this in the Don Casey "How to" library:
 
 
Sanitation 
This hose must handle sewage from your head to your holding tank, pumpout, vent duck fittings, and discharge through-hull fitting (where legal). Its failure or odor permeation is very unpleasant, so choose and install your hose carefully. It should be labeled "Sanitation", and be made of smooth (inside and out), heavy wall, flexible, odor-resistant construction and formulation. Our rubber and vinyl sanitation hoses are the best available, but certain common sense limitations apply to each for odor-free performance. Good installations are short and self- draining (no kinks, loops, or dips), with tight connections. Overtight fittings and clamping can damage hose ends, causing leaks and odors. 
Sewage allowed to sit in the hose develops acids and gas that shorten its odor-free life. This is especially the case with white vinyl extra heavy-duty sanitation hose (see Illustration 1, below), where petroleum-based lubricants, excessive heat softening, and fluids containing alcohol, petrochemicals, or solvents can damage the hose and shorten its "odor-free" life. This is a good and cost-effective sanitation hose, but for maximum "odor-free" performance and a long and/or non-self-draining installation, we recommend our premium sanitation hose (Illustration 4, below). Its heavy wall, two-ply with wire helix construction is more forgiving, flexible, installation-friendly, and odor-resistant.
