I'd go with hard lines myself leaving just the inches to the mech pump as flexible. Hard lines are easier to install, you only need to support it every 18" or so and once done it will last the life of the build.
Flex lines just look wrong unless they are supported more often. And so much of what passes as SS Flex these days is just cheap hose with a thin braid slid over it.
I'll look into hard lines. I have to run new brake lines too and they will be hard lines, but the steel ones are challenging to bend.
