Yes, 37 deg single flare w/tube sleeve if you're using AN fittings.
But if you're using stainless tubing with stock inverted flare fittings, you need a 45 deg double flare just like you would use on a regular steel tubing. And yes, stainless can be double flared ... you need annealed tubing and a really good flaring tool though.

Yeah, I've been using a lot of that NiCopp tubing lately as well. The corrosion resistance and the ease of bending/flaring it more than make up for the extra cost in my opinion. On restoration projects, I usually give it a light coat of silver paint to make it look more like the OE tin plated steel.
