I have replaced all four of mine with stainless-wrapped flex hoses.  do not
remember the brand or if they are DOT approved.  They made a noticable
difference in my opinion, making the brakes a little more "direct" if that
is the right word for it.  Maybe faster reaction, and when the pedal hits
pressure it doesn't "give" any, leading me to belive the wrap is doing its
job in holding the flex hose from expanding.  Am happy with them.
