Default Rear mount oil system question

Im not having much luck finding oil line for my rear mount stuff. I am trying to find hose rated for higher temps, but im trying to avoid regular braided line. I can get regular rubber line from the auto parts store rated for the temp, but I don't want to use no name line and try to find AN fitting that will work with it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am also looking for the little 1 ( or so ) psi check valves that people put in line to keep oil from running in to the turbo when the engine is off.

I may just run rubber line if I have to, as it seems many people do this. It strikes me as odd how many people run rubber line with barbed fitting and hose clamps on these though. Some of these motors will see 80+ psi oil pressure. But when someone puts a hose clamp on a fuel line that sees 58 psi, someone chimes in and freaks out. Im just as worried about getting a little oil on the tires as I am about a fuel fire!! any help is mucho appreciated!!
