Default SS Brake Line recommendations?

I see so many brake lines out there and I have experience with Stop Tech ones. Just wanted to know what you guys recommended? I will be doing many DE events so these lines need to be good ones. But I also want to not pay too much for them either.

Also give me a recommended vendor that you think has the cheapest costs.

I apperciate it. I tried to search but it didn't come up with much.

^+1 Both are good -- I currently have StopTech SS brake lines. Bought them from Performance Nissan.

I would only buy the ones that have a plastic cover OVER the stainless steel braid. This will prevent dirt/debris from getting through the braid and between the stainless steel braid and the inner tube, which could cause chaffing and possibly/eventually a hole in the tube that actually holds the fluid.
Better safe than sorry with brakes.
So far, the only brand I have seen which has the plastic cover over the stainless braid is StopTech.

Most do actually thinking. The last stoptech I installed though didn't have that cover.

There is a brand called technafit that seems to be good but haven't seen much talk on here about them. They are only around $100 bucks compared to Stoptech around $200.
