I can probably read you the rating off the Conti ones...but I am sure it is rated well above what it needs to be. It's really a question of your preference. The OEM ones provide a safety factor in that they are much thicker and can take a bit of chafing and abuse whereas the contis won't.

I hacksawed all the connector nuts off my old ones ( to save the coolers) and used plenty of anti-seize when I installed all of these. I will probably seek out a hydraulic shop to re-do these (in bulk) when the time comes in about 6 years or so.
