So can I get a BH59 hose to fit a Hope Barb they are a different shape and seem to use a copper washer
Dibble-
I’ve used the hope fittings on shimano hoses with success (hope banjo and fittings on zee callipers with both shimano and jagwire hoses)

No, use shimano fittings on Shimano hose (BH59 or 90 barb for BH59 or 90 hose), use hope fittings on a hope hose. But the shifters cost a lot more and are more prone to breaking than the calipers where the hose enters, so I'd use Shimano hose rather than hope.

Use a hope barb and olive, although you'll be better off with Shimano hose and fittings.
