Which clutch line should I go with ?

I'm looking to replace my plastic clutch hose with a stainless steel braided hose. I have found 2 so far on BHR but don't know which to go with either the Edelbrock Clutch Line Kit or the Goodridge stainless clutch kit. Any suggestions or reviews ?

The OEM hoses are not plastic.

The "stainless" lines are only a rubber or rubber/teflon line covered with a stainless steel braid.

IMO, there's nothing wrong with them per se, but no huge advantage to their use in a street car. Given that, probably not much difference between brands. I'm sure BHR wouldn't offer anything for sale that's in the "junk" category.

I have the Russell Edelbrock Clutch Line as well as the Brake Line kit and I've been really happy with them.
