Default what do you wrap your hydrolic lines with?

I have 3an lines ran for my hydraulic line and they run close to the headers on my car. I installed a heat shield to keep it closer to the chasis and it does its job, but I would also like to install some heat wrap.

I heard about people using rubber fuel line and heat tape, but what do you guys use and what brand? All autozone had was exhaust heat wrap and it seems a waste to spend 30-50 bucks for that. I assumed their would be something better out their.

edit what about this ? http://www.vichubbard.com/auto-part-...et-010403.html

I understand that EGT's can get in the 1200's, but how much of that is radiated from the headers? I have long tube grotti hahn 1 7/8th

If that link is good enough for me too use , should I also use fuel hose or just the reflective wrap?

I used fuel line and I went to pep boys and picked up a couple of packs of exhaust tape.
