Hi Jose. Sorry, I have used soaker hoses in my garden beds, but know nothing of the manufacturer's you are asking for info on.
I will say here in Louisiana, keeping planting beds well watered in our heat can be a task. I have use a number of irrigation methods over the years, but I find that even the inexpensive hoses made from recycled tires work much better, in my opinion, than most of the methods I have tried in the past.

Coupled with a good 2 to 4 inch layer of mulch for moisture retention, the soaker hoses can be laid out to provide fairly even coverage and little water waste/loss. Perhaps another user may have experience with the brands you referred to.
