I just have a white drinking water quality hose from Walmart. It's probably close to 20 years old. Just look for one that's very flexible. Stiff one's are hard to store.

The white hoses are typically known for being drinking water safe. However if you go to the store you will find that there are a lot of hoses now that are drinking water safe that are not white. Just look at the label.

I carry two 25 ft hoses and a 10 foot hose. Most of the time a single 25 foot hose is enough. If you are at a full hook up site, often a 10 foot hose will suffice.

As for storage, after draining the hose, I roll it up, and connect the two ends together to keep everything clean. I also have some two sided Velcro that I secure the coil together in a few places.

Can't beat the white Camco's for price. I had one of the flat hoses that come with a reel (see Camping World) that worked for 4 years and this year when I hooked it up it was full of pin holes, but I might still get a replacement hose as the reel is still good. Efficient use of space but durability is not ideal. I also just got one of these new clear all-weather hoses that are safe for drinking water. They also go flat and roll up. They are much more expensive than the Camco hoses, but roll up compact and have a 10 yr warranty.

Home Hardware - 5/8" x 25' All Season Clear Garden Hose

Definitely get 2 - 25ft hoses rather than one 50ft as it will save you rolling up 25ft of hose most every time you hook up the water. If you have space a 10ft hose is the one you will probably use most at serviced sites.

I also carry one with the heating element in case we are in the mountains overnight. It can be used with or without heat - so multipurpose
