I stopped at an RV dealership today to pick up a few things and was looking at water hose.

They had 2 different brands, and 2 different sizes and 2 different lengths in each brand.

I realize that there is a difference in flow rate and pressure for each hose but, is it a noticeable difference?

How often do you need the 50' and where? (private or gov't)

Since the inside plumbing is going to be 1/2" is the 5/8" hose needed, or the difference even noticeable?

Also how much sewer hose does everyone carry?

Since all of my plumbing is 1/2 inch PEX, I bought a 25 foot 1/2 inch hose, and a 50 foot 1/2 inch hose.
I use which ever I need, but once had to use both to reach the nearest water source from my parking spot.

I've always been able to get by with 10 feet of sewer hose...(So far).

I carry a 25' 1/2" and a 50' 5/8". You may need the xtra 50' in some places. It is also for car and bus washing. I also carry a Y adaptor with shutoffs, makes things eaiser..
I carry a 10 ft sewer hose, 11 ft would be perfect. The cheap sewer hose do not hold up well. It is easy to poke a hole in one and make a mess. The higer quality ones last much longer and are a better buy.
