i just used the polyethelene tubing for my ro/di machine. the quick connects worked great with no leaks, if you push them in all the way. Works better than the fitting that came with my Kent-marine unit. I also used the same type fittings (3/8) on my sump for water topoff. Works great.

I'm pretty sure the tubing that comes with RO's is polyethelene. If the quick connects you're talking about are compression fittings, either is fine. Both are available in food grade.
