I have those fittings on all of my hydraulics except the pump connections on my Volvo because I am using standard size hose and fittings(pump is oddball G1/8). I find that the small fittings are fine but the larger 1/4" lines start to weep over time. I bought some of the larger fittings from Princess Auto and they are the worst for it(read Chinese quality). What happens is every time the pressure comes up the hose pushes against the barbs that hold it in place. Eventually it wears the hose and starts to leak. I have never had one come apart though so in that regard I am happy. You just might have to change hoses ever once and a while.
