Okay... I bought my regs from DiveInn and my BC from a LDS and neither one came with a BC inflator hose! I figured I had to buy one. I've been trying to research this online all day, but I am still confused at which size, length, etc I should get. Can anyone help?

When buying a BC or BCD. The manufacter usually packs a hose with the BC. It comes with the proper length.

Your BC should have come with one. Go back to the LDS and ask them where it is...

When you say the BC should have come with it, are you referring to the low pressure inflator hose that connects from your first stage to the power inflator?

Yes, thats a part that always is included in the BC purchase.
If your LDS tries to sell it to you as a separate item, time for a new LDS.

Ps. Some states, like NY if memory serves, have laws against splitting up a packaged item and selling the parts separately. If the LDS insists on selling you the parts separately, call the manufacturer and verify that the BC includes the LP inflator hose. Then look to see if you have a legal recourse.
Is it me or is the SCUBA industry as a whole the most customer-hostile industry out there?

The in-line skating industry is pretty bad [well, I've not paid attention for 5 years or so, but I'm sure it didn't change]. Skiing is pretty bad too. At least diving you can usually find an LDS that'll sell you a first stage/second stage, a console, and an alternate and put 'em all on for you. You can drop $800 for a pair of skis, $400 for a pair of bindings and $500 for a pair of boots, and they hit you up with another $50 to put the bindings on the skis.
What if...I removed the hose (because many have a bunch already) and marked the cost down a bit and sold them seperatly? Why would you want a legal recourse?
For that matter, I can mark the whole thing up as much as I want (or as much as you are willing to pay) including the hose so how could there be a legal recourse? I baught it, it is mine and until you buy it it's still mine. As long as I don't falsly advertise it or break a contract or whatever you are free to take it or leave it but there isn't a legal recourse.
No wonder my insurance is so HIGH!

Provided you haven't broken a statute in your state's commercial code. All I think Roakey was suggesting is that "breaking up a package" might consitutute a violation in some states. Provided no one is breaking the law, I don't think anyone would disagree with what you are saying.
If I am putting word's in Roak's mouth, I feel quite sure he will correct me.

Cmon Mike, thats apples an oranges and you know it.
In your case the customer is fully informed of whats going on.
Im talking about an authorized reseller of a product breaking up a package as received from the manufacturer in order to deliberately defraud a customer.
With as much shuffling that goes on in a dive shop, my guess is that the hose was left out unintentionally. Calm down and lets see what happens.
