-8 feed and -6 return are plenty. You can use any type of line you like. I like the black pushloc hose very easy to work with and durable.

ok i bought the an fittings and line to run a an8 feed line and use my stock feed as a return (for now) but the rails are 3/8 npt and the 3/8npt to 8 an 45's i bought only screw in a bout 5 threads and then they bind. i put 3in1 on them and kept working them tighter then backing off but only have them about 1/2 way in. it doesent seem to be messing up the threads and after i back em out they wil screw in freely to the last point. i am wondering if i should keep working them til they bottom or just leave them at 1/2 depth?

oh yeah the way im running the lines is 8an into the rail on driver side then 8 an cross over in back then 8 an from the front pass side rail to the regulator mounted on the fender well and then 8 an out for bypass to the stock line. is that the best way?
