Brand of Stainless Steel Brake Lines Question

I have an '03 Evo VIII, and the brakes are going to be replaced soon. I plan to get DBA 4000 rotors, EBC Redstuff brake pads, and ATE Super Blue Racing Brake Fluid. I am looking for advice as which brand of braided stainless steal brake lines to buy: Goodridge, Stoptech, or Russell.
Please post with opinions and/or suggestions on which would be the best lines to buy.

Don't forget to include the word "braided" in your search...

Goodridge here, work great and theyre still going strong over a year later. Good price, and a local member recommended them to me are my reason for purchasing the lines.

Be sure to get a set that are DOT approved. They meet standards that others don't.

I run the Girodisc brake lines. Get all your braking needs at one place from a guy who has a phenomenal knowledge of brakes!
