I've personally used stainless lines from mike's, Spiegler, and Goodridge . Spiegler is, IMHO, top drawer stuff (there are others also). I was satisfied with how I was able to get the line to 'lay in' to the orientation I wanted on the bike (RD400). Performance as expected.
Mike's: I have "early" lines on a '77XS650 from a decade(+) ago that I think are ok. Maybe not the quality as Spiegler, but functional. No issues.
And I have used Goodridge lines for a KZ1000 that I got from Z1enterprises. The thing that I liked about these is that I could get pretty much exactly the length and end that I wanted (within reason!). I did have to measure the length that I wanted and then do arithmetic to arrive at my desired end result. And yes, I did make a mistake computing how long a line to order once!
This seems to be the listing from Z1 at this time. As you can see, there are many lengths to choose from. Maybe a good source for those doing a hard-tail build or "bobber" (shudder). I have yet to have a leak from the ends once properly tight. Didn't use sealing compound or teflon tape, I suppose one could for assurance.

While Z1enterprises and mikesxs may be affiliated under the same corporate (if that's actually a correct way to put it), my experience with them is that they are totally different outfits. Haven't had a "bummer" from them yet.
