Even for my DD's, I could never go back to the squishy, vague rubber lines -- ever!

Just be sure you by from a recognized manufacturer that has tested them for TÜV certification, DOT compliance and FMVSS 106 standards. Make them prove this. There are a lot of cheap line kits being imported that are below par at best. Other have purchased do-it-yourself equipment that could be OK, but without testing the results from that specific piece of equipment and that specific process (not a generalized test done by the machine's manufacturer), you don't really know what you are getting.

For the above reasons, I'd recommend the Stillen/Goodridge lines. These have all the bases covered, along with a lifetime guarantee.

I want to add...your brake lines are not something you want to cheap out on. Failure in that area could result in some very bad happening!
