Air hose size and material question?

Hose Diameter - is that dependent on compressor fitting size? Meaning larger diameter is good even if the compressor fitting size stays the same?

 

Seems obvious but I've never thought about this stuff since I got my first compressor a long time ago.

 

Material - I can google this but rubber or hybrid or pcv ?

Thanks.  I forget what hose I went with, I think rubber as it's more cold friendly. 

 

I went with some Milton V style or something fittings that have considerably larger internal ID's and flow a lot more air.  They're apparently a substantial improvement over nominal fittings even if the hose diameter stays the same.
