Default Need help on size and length of steel braid

Hey guys, I'm going to be getting some teflon coated lines and wanted to know what you guys usually run... I want to run a sumped tank, at least one A-1000 or bigger fuel pump, return line (-6) and at least -8 or -10 up to the rails... Do you guys suggest one line from the sump or two into a Y block... I am open to options and opinions but I need to get an idea because my buddy is getting me air grade quality before I leave for home... Thanks everyone...

-8 Feed
-6 Return

Thats plenty enough for 800rw+

I run a Magnafuel 4302 pump, -12 sump feed to the pump. -8 from the pump to an Aeromotive Y (-10) and split -8 to the rails.

Run -8 of the rails to an A1000 regulator then a -6 Return threw the stock sender housing.

Tony.
