With the term "brake hose" I'm thinking of the relatively short (might be 30 cm, but I was thinking they were a little shorter) flexible hoses that connect the hard lines to the calipers. I believe I paid about ten dollars each for these. I replaced them, along with both rear rotors and calipers (loaded) in about an hour and a half in a parking lot, and I took my time. Total parts cost for all that stuff was about $230 from NAPA after core refunds.

I haven't tackled a rear bearing yet, but I was told they are a bear.

Just the hoses should take about ten minutes per side, plus bleeding, assuming they aren't corroded into place. BTW, if one side is bad, the other probably isn't far behind, so you may as well do both.
