What is the issue people have with rectus ? I've always used them and never really thought about it.

They seem fine to me

I don't use EzSnap/Rectus 21 fittings on my hose any more, or 'O' clamps.  I only use JG now. Much less troublesome for me.  Also, they are quicker, easier and cheaper to replace. 

Oh, forgot about them as well.  Same here, push fit fittings now and same for tubeless setup as well. Makes life so much easier and like you said, much cheaper to replace.
I think i got a bog of 100 push fit 8mm to 8mm straight connects from ebay for £5

How do you connect the microbore reel hose to the pole hose with  8mm to 8mm JG fittings?

This is on my tube less kit, as my pole hose is 8mm od. So at the end of my pole on the hose, i have a push fit connection.

On my microbore I have a barb tap valve fitted. After the tap is a 8mm push fit. So my set up is:
Micorbore / 8mm barb tap valve inlet and outlet is an 8mm pushfit/ 8mm rhino hose (pole hose)

Oh thanks Nathan never knew you could get those push fit connectors, only trouble I can see it looks a bit bulky and prone to catch when you're reeling it in round corners etc.

Not what I would use, but it should not catch too much as it is at the end of the hose.
