Help! - Drip irrigation on an incline?

I was looking at putting a DIY drip system in the veggie garden this year. Was going to pick up a kit to make it as painless as possible :)

The problem is that part of the garden is on a slight hill. I read that drip dosn't do well on hills, but it would be "OK" if you are not trying to go up & down the incline. I guess implying that it would work going across the incline, just not as well?

Would a soaker setup be any better? I was originally going to go with a nice soaker system like some of the ones I've seen posted on here, but my hoses don't seem to last longer than 2 years.

Anyway, so what would the best way to install in a veggie garden when only part of it is on an incline? I should add, if it makes a difference, the part on an incline is close to a different hose outlet, so if for some reason I needed a different set up (pressure, etc) that would't be a problem.

I think thats it...Thanks for the help.
