Bend your own.

I have started using a product called NICOPP. It is a nickel/copper line that is much softer than steel and it bends and flares much easier. It won't rust and you can get coated fittings for it too. I have had good luck getting it to seal with a minimum of torque on the fittings. If you type "NICOPP brake line" into Google Search you will see who handles it in your area. It is a little more expensive but worth it as far as I'm concerned......

The smaller stuff you can bend by hand and you can flare it holding the old style flaring tool in your hands. If you make a mistake bending it you just straighten it back out and start over... And the best part is, it doesn't rust.
