question re: Braided vs Hard Brake Lines

I am building my brake system and am contemplating running stainless braided lines (BrakeQuip) throughout as opposed to hardlines.

Basically the cost ends up being a bit of a factor but it's really not that expensive to run the braided throughout. By the time I buy the flaring and bending tools required, it ends up being a non-issue.

I've scoured the internet and have found that there are two camps on this topic but seemingly very few people who have actually tried it and have conclusive input. Most of the negative input is that you end up with a "spongy" feel and this seems to be mostly generic hearsay rather than voice of experience..

If there is "sponginess", is it a function of brand/quality of the stainless lines used..or just

My question is, has anyone here tried this and have feedback for me.

Thanks..
