Scott, I asked a similar question a while back because of water in my lines. I to have rubber hoses at this point, but plan to add hard lines. One thing I found was that my water separator was mounted to close the compressor. I have since move it since the air coming out of the compressor is hot and the cooling of the air creates water in the lines. I also plan to add a water trap and had to buy a quality water separator. I ran the hose vertical up over the rafter from the water separator so it might make the water run back to the seperator. Rubadub recommended getting a "Sharpe F-88's" (water Separator) and said they are excellent and last forever". I'm not an expert on this subject, but so far I have not had water problems since buying a good water separator.
