You are going to hate me for this but the bigger the hose the better.
Less friction loss.
What you are seeing is velocity not pressure.
The higher the velocity the higher the friction loss in pressure and usable water.
This is why I ran 1-1/2 and 1 inch irrigation lines not 3/4 and 1/2.
More gallons per minute due to less friction loss.
