Stainless braided hose for fuel system

Can anyone point me to high quality stainless braided hose? I will be doing a fuel system and want something that will last. I want hose that is not rubber, preferrably synthetic like silicon. Is teflon lined a good type to use? What is best for the job?

There is some really good line, Im not sure what its called but a buddy of mine uses it on his late model dirt track car. This **** is tuff and it holds up to 250 psi(more than enough). Im on my way to his shop, I will find out for you.
I was once thinking about ss briaded line but you need screw fittings. The stock fuel system is slip-on so I thought it would be a pita so Im going with the other stuff. Plus the line that im talking about is a hell of alot cheaper than ss line.

My mechanic has replaced his gas lines from the tank to the motor with air craft steel tubing bent to match the stock , put in the stock location. Only it is larger sized. The cost was about $1.00 per foot . compair that to the cost of SS braided , plus the fittings . his is bigger from the fuel pump in the tank to the rails back to the regulator .
