My thoughts are the diameter is related to how fast it needs to fill. Using a #8 (1/2" ID) hose would probably generally be adequate if you can stand a little response time.
Using rigid metallic DOM hydraulic tubing may save some $$ over a hydraulic hose....but of course you know about the loss in flexibility and the need to support and secure the tubing. Also need a flaring tool and tube nuts. And then you'd still need some short hoses to go with it...so that might not really be a savings.
I think you could probably also get away with Sch 80 black iron pipe but it almost always has cleanliness issues...and then a NPT fitting never seals as well as a JIC fitting.
