Re: running new brake hardlines
Buy a good tubing bender and "double flare" tool.
Take your time. Some people will map out their lines with stiff wire and then duplicate them with the tubing. You will waste a little tubing so buy plenty.

Re: running new brake hardlines
Don't buy the coils of tubing, you wont be able to get it straight.
Flaring the ends will need some practice.
