I'm doing sae 45 not only because of the pumps and tanks but because instalation parts supply has the sae 45 ss fittings for a tenth of jic 37 fittings. I ordered my pumps direct, and have a warranty, I really don't want to Crack them open brand new to change out those fittings. I'm unaware of Manchester making a tank that has a valve stem with jic 37 degree fittings.
Those Flaretite conical seals arnt your old school crush washers. They are 316 ss ones available with or without the coating and they are supposed to be a permanent fix. 4 dollars for one of those or 40 plus shipping and a week to two week wait for new hose...idk probably good to have some around so you don't have down time while new hoses are in the mail?
I know utmost safety and quality is important as far as uncompromising integrity is concerned. However, I feel that most people's high sides arnt going to be over 200 psi, shouldn't really be above 100 even. I've seen some pretty Janky stuff hold seal, and I've done a few tests myself recently and was actually surprised to see what was holding 150 psi. Don't worry I'm making everything proper, just been bored screwing around while waiting on the post.
