Brake Hoses - stainless vs rubber

[Atrus]

I'm replacing my brake hoses, and trying to decide between the standard rubber from moss, or the stainless set from them.

Any noticeable difference with the stainless? $95 for stainless, or $73 for rubber.

I am running the standard master cylinder (replaced with new), rotors/drums, etc. Car will not be a race car, just spirited road driving and cruising. The current brakes don't seem to be that great. I attribute it to crappy pads and possibly old hoses that are swelling.

I was a firm believer in the stainless hoses but unless they are Goodridge brand, don't bother as I have seen the cheap ones rust at the fittings.
The stainless ones go on Ebay for around $70 a set.
And I know the rubber hoses are around $15 each.
Shop around.
