Stainless Steel Fuel lines
I want to buy some stainless steel fuel lines, but would like some advice on where to get them? How much should I spend? Are they reliable?

If you are talking about the braided stainless flex-hose, then it is potentially LESS reliable then stainless (or regular steel) tubing as it is still basically rubber hose. Though the braided stainless layers greatly strengthen it, it's more failure prone then a hard line.
As for how much to spend, it depends. The "generic" fittings are actually quite cheap, but compared to the machine work on the "brand name" fittings they are of poor quality. You can easily spend $1000 on hose and fittings in your engine bay without even realizing it.
