I ripped the two manifold hoses last weekend trying to get the intake manifold off of the car.

Is there any major difference between the different hoses available?

I guess I should just go ahead and replace all of the hoses at one go?

VB sells Kevlar reinforced hoses. I have them but can't tell you if they're better or worse in terms of strength.

Green looks nicer, but maybe only in my opinion.

And Tom's right, do them all. Make sure that you get the twin pipe flange and gasket that go through the firewall and connect the engine hoses to the heater core hoses.
