I went with copper as it was only a couple bucks more than the steel. I bent it by hand and it should help with cooling a little better than steel. Local oreillys has a bunch hanging in the store. I did each run with one stick so I don't have any couplings or anything.

Buy some NiCopp tubing on E-bay in whatever size your trans uses and bend your own. Bends easy, flares easy, and won't rust.

Like lockDoc said, NiCopp tubing is super easy to work with, flairs easy, wont rust, and looks great. SS can be a real pain in the shorts to work with and even harder to flair. My local auto parts store has it in 25 foot roll for reasonable pricing if you are in need of some ASAP check there.
