Sounds to me like the master cylinder. It's directly connected to the clutch pedal and if your sound appears to come from that area, it's the likely culprit. Theres a big spring inside it that can bind.
Now, if you're talking about the clutch area squeaking that's a whole other can-o-worms. You could have a failed/failing throwout bearing or flywheel pilot bearing. Odd thing is that these shouldn't necessarily make the pedal effort increase. My only clutch squawk experience was with a siezed pilot bearing. It had siezed it's bearings and was spinning within the flywheel and had walked onto the clutch shaft and into the splines. Squawked bad when pressing the pedal. Throwout bearings tend to make consistent squeal when the pedal is pressed (clutch disengaged). If you're handy, you can remove the plastic clutch cover and take a peek - it's a lot easier if you don't have a turbo to get the cover off.
I don't know any mechanic that would replace the clutch hose due to a squeaky or stiff clutch by the way. That sucker is only replaced when it leaks/blows.
I wouldn't drive it too much.
