-2 or -3 SS braided brake lines are the only way to fly. You can order make ups with a kevlar braid if you are worried about weight and not $$$$.
Having had aluminum brake line tube fail from fatigue, causing a uncommanded departure from the runway, resulting in a fireball which ignited my wheel pant, I would suggest you consider "real" brake lines (SS braided with Teflon lining). But, just a personal opinion of course.
