When we do street rod brakes, we use 3/16" brake tubing. When I start on my 68', I'll definately run my own lines.
I think pre-bent ones would be the easiest for when you have your sheet metal in place though.
As far as doing your own lines and making your own double flares...we stopped making our own double flares and started joining the lines together using compression fittings. These are available at your local hardware store.
Where I work, our hydraulics man seems to believe a brake line joint using compression fittings is more than adequate for handling the pressure.
I have had no leaks at all in the 2 cars I have done using compression fittings.
Of course this is all just my opinion but it might save some money and double-flaring is a pain.
