Which ever Hozelock is the right length. Ideally the one in the wall mounted container if you have the cash.
Gardena also make excellent kit. My folks had a collapsable one that lasted a good 20-30yrs.
What exactly is a 'starter hose' anyway?
The levels don't refer to your watering abilities, they related to your buyer grade. Most people on here would typically be looking at semi-pro to pro-buyer products - see Japanese shears and Rapha totes (sorry musettes).

Higher grade hoses will kink less and be able to deal with higher pressures, but be heavier and pricier. My Gardena Classic seems better than any Hozelock I've used in the past, especially considering the water pressure I have now (I think about 8 Bar!). How long a hose do you need and how often are you coiling / uncoiling it? The 'pro' level hoses will be a pain to coil on a small reel.

Retractable hozelock ftw. I don’t know how I lived before it

Can anyone recommend a decent garden hose (~30m)?
I'm in Edinburgh which is not (yet) subject to a hosepipe ban. If you heard a voice scream "Oh no!" at around 7:30pm last night that was me the moment my expandy hose exploded. The sound carried for several miles.
I won't buy another expandable hose though it did have its advantages: it was lightweight, it never kinked, and it came with a spray gun and connectors, both of which I needed at the time. I'm hoping to reuse them with the new hose. The downsides are a) you can't use an expandable hose with a sprinkler, and b) it has a very slight tendency to explode. I had it for 4 years which isn't too bad going I suppose.
There so many different hoses on the market. Even if I went with the obvious choice of Hozelock they have several different ones on the market. What exactly is a 'starter hose' anyway? Is it for beginners who've never watered a plant before?
