I have done the hose reel before, and never will again.  It's like cat5 on a
spool, hangs up, and is definitely a pain in the rear you don't want to deal
with when climbing.  Most tower crews (one showed me) will do a figure 8 of
rope into a barrel/tub/bin.  Have been doing it that way for 4+ years and
never had an issue.
Regards,

Chuck
