replace the whole hydraulic system.
WHY?becasue if you change One part,the NEW part will create more pressure on the old parts and you will eventually change those out too.
the whole system,Master,slave and hose can be replaced for about 200 Tops.(and that is being exorbitant in pricing).

The stainless steel braided clutch line will give your Clutch a "little better" feel,as it wont allow the Fluid to Expand the Hose,as opposed to the Old rubber Style line.
Use a Dot 3 or Dot 4 brake fluid with your Clutch,and it should be fine.
Make sure that you bleed the system properly.
I found that Once in a "blue moon" you just can't get the Fluid to Enter the Slave.What I do is put a Hose on the slave's Bleeder,crack it open and "suck it up Princess".
.WARNING!:USE a CLEAR hose!.that stuff is real nasty tasting!.
Once you see Fluid IN the hose,close the bleeder and then have a buddy Pump the Clutch and Crack the Bleeder again to make sure your fluid is Running through.
Then test it for Feel,It should be Fine.

(Disclaimer: all my soft hoses have been replaced with homemade braided line, so it's not that I don't like them)
The chances of a new(ish) OEM rubber hose "ballooning" are minimal, old ones can and do but all the soft hoses are service items anyway and should be replaced on schedule.
In fact, braided lines have a higher incidence of failure, in my experience.
Most frequently they fail at the connector crimp but another common cause is crud getting under the steel braid and wearing the teflon liner down.
Really nice premade braided lines will be covered in a plastic sleeve to protect against this.
