I don't like most dryer vent hose, when I redid the dryer vent in my
basement i got two 4" 90's and a length of metal flex duct. Connected
it all together with screws and metal duct tape, only non-fastened
connection is at base of dryer (to take apart for annual cleaning.)
much less restriction and lint buildup that way.

Good installation except for the screws. I used screws like I'd used with
my HVAC duct work and when inspected a few months later found the each had
collected a good bit of lint. I pulled them all out and just used good
metal duct tape (not the cheapo cloth based stuff that dries put quickly. A
year and a half later and the vents are still clear as new.

Even better than the flex metal is the rigid metal piping. It won't
collapse easily, better at fire safety, and a smooth interior gives a
better flow rate due to less turbulence.
