For all firewall-forward applications (fuel lines, oil lines to the oil cooler, VMS oil and fuel pressure transducers), I used Aeroquip "666" hoses with firesleeve added by the shop that made them up. I had those made up by a California aviation hose shop, similar to Sacramento Sky Ranch. The "666" Aeroquips are Teflon hoses with stainless braid, similar to the Imperial Eastman that I used for the hydraulics. The Imperial Eastman hose is relatively inexpensive; however, the reason for the expense of the hydraulic installation is that the fittings are about $ 25. each and there are a LOT of fittings in the flexible portion of the hydraulic system. I may have overpaid and they could be obtained for less, but then the local shop will likely charge more to crimp them and you end up paying the same.
