You'll get a lot of answers that border on "ghetto repairs", but other than steel tubing, the ONLY route I would take for flexible lines is braided steel with AN fittings. My 2¢...
......I would second that statement, except to specify that the braided stainless hose are just that, ALL stainless construction, hose as well as sheath, no rubber hoses with braided SS sheath...
If you have access to McMaster Carr, you could order your flexible ALL stainless hoses, made to size, and end specfications

... GHETTO .....
THEN on the other end of the scale .... braided steel with AN's ...
MUST be nice if you have a boat-load of cash BURIED in the back yard ...
I have used NUMEROUS times ... some 3/8 alum tubing with some high quality braided black rubber hose.
Wanted to mine with braided, local race shop caries it all, it was $150.00 to do it that way, I think I'll bend mine too. Oh, by the way, it's 5/16 line.
