Technafit (not sure if that's the spelling) are excellent and fit well (what I have). Be careful with Goodrich - some were defective. Lots of people like StopTech, but they are pricier. Quality is very important with brake lines as they need to fit just right or you can get chafing on suspension components.

Get the lines that have a outer rubber coating on top of the braided steel mesh. I'm pretty sure most should have this now but iirc some that didn't have this coat would have excessive wear when dirt and sand/rock particles entered the mesh braids.

Same here, nice lines glad I got these over the Goodrich, plus they were cheaper!

I'm using Technafit lines because they were cheap ($75 shipped). Gruppe-S and Agency Power looks like they have nice brake lines.

Most brakes lines are pretty much the same. Just make sure you get DOT approved lines.

Stoptech
Rotora
Goodrich
Buscher
Girodisc

are for sure DOT approved, I don't know much about the Agency-Power or Technafit lines.
