Default Running brake lines for the first time.....

First time I'm running brake lines. I don't think I need stainless, and I'm told it's tough to work with anyway. I bought a nice bender / plier setup from Eastwood, and a single / double flaring kit from them as well. I'll practice with the flaring kit before I try it on the car, I'm told that the "difficult" part is getting the flares right. A few questions:

-What size line should I run?

-Are all brake lines (not counting stainless, as I don't want to mess with that) the same quality and material?

-Single or double flares? What's the difference?

-What angle flare is used?

-The front calipers and masters are Wilwood. The rear calipers are Girling's from a E type Jag. Same flare and tubing size on both?

-Are all fittings the same quality? What should I get?

-Anything else I should know? Any tips for a first timer?
