If it's regular steel braided line just get any brand. They all work with braided lines. Make sure you understand how the fittings go onto the hose. I've seen a lot of guys do it wrong and wind up with leaking hoses.

^ It's hard to mess up, but there's always going to be a couple people that manage to screw it up. 
I got my fittings from Jegs and a local place that makes them here. I like the local fittings because they're US made, but the Jegs fittings had the finish I wanted. There's a couple videos on YT.
This one's pretty good. I used a couple wrenches, but a sharpie will cover up any marks. They're TIGHT though. So getting the vice tools and the AN wrench would be a good investment if you don't want to mar the fittings.
