Both needed to be replaced after about 3 years. It may be the elevated temperatures is that part of the engine coupled with the oil vapor as the swelling normally occurs only at the nipples of the PCV hose only and not the other vacuum hoses.
Nitrile rubber is more resistant to oil and fuel but is tough to find.
