don't hope is a more imperative, objective statement of not hoping, so it's best used when talking to someone or when referring to a certain issue. It also implies an informal tone.
hope not is a passive way of saying it, and is best used at the end of sentence, as a reply, or in poetry with no stated issues after it in the sentence. Implies a formal tone.
Example 1: I don't hope for it. (correct, informal).
Example 2: I hope not for it. (correct, formal)
Hope that helped...
