Which is the best connection to fit onto your reel hopefully Leak Proof

Recently ive been getting water in van , looks like leaking from swivel and hoselock on conextion

Anyone use anything 100%  better

 
Those connectors are prone to leak when the swivel part begins to wear. I’ve been using a straight brass connector on the reel with a clauber 8mm to hoselock connector on my hose. It’s never leaked once in nearly three years of use. Only problem is that you have to zip tie the hose to the reel frame to stop it twisting when reeling in. 

 
Look inside the elbow there is a large allen key shaped hole, it just needs tightening this will prevent it leaking further
