I agree with you about the look of copper lines, not very professional looking.

I used "Rigid" brand tubing benders for Beers car. Rigid stuff is usually available through Home Depot, but for some reason they couldn't get me the 3/16" bender, so I had to order the bender from a specialty shop.

The real pimp benders are "swage lock" brand. But the smallest they sell is 1/4"

I'm also using a Rigid bender works very well. I bought an Empire 37 degree flare tool from Sears. It made a decent flare. Haven't finished hooking up my lines but I think it will seal fine.
