Default Ptfe fuel rated hose and synthetic rubber line

So I can't decide between getting ptfe line or regular Russell synthetic rubber line.

The ptfe line I was going to buy doesn't have a black liner so to my understanding it's not meant to be used for fuel.
So where is the best place to get it at a decent price?

Then I was thinking just getting synthetic rubber line but I'm worried about fuel odor when the car sits. Anyone have any experience with this?

I used russell ptfe hose when I did the LS1 swap on my 91 Camaro. It's listed as power steering hose but is fine to use for fuel. I called their tech support before using it to be sure. No problems with it and no fuel smell.

It seems like most people use the standard ptfe without issue on fuel but I'd really hate to have a fuel leak or worse a fire because of trying to save a few bucks in buying hose.
I'm looking at tech afx and Pegasus racing. Also waiting on an email back from Lonnie's. Hoping he can beat their prices!

Called fragola today. Their 6000 ptfe line is anti static.
Next question is their -8 is listed at .405 ID. Isn't that a little small for -8? Still capable of 800+whp?
