Steel Brake Lines 444-544

Hi all-I Have the new generic Master Cylinder.
Brakes were done all around, shoes, drums, cylinders and rubber lines
about 8 years and 500 miles tops on the car.
These were done professionally.

Rotten rusted kinked brake lines.

Ok Brake lines. Do I bend my own, (first time for everything.)or order more expensive pre bent lines?

What kind of flare goes on the tubing?
Line to the reservoir, is there a suggested rubber piece from the nipple on the reservoir to the tubing that goes to the MC.

Any insights, warnings etc would be most appreciated.

I can borrow the flaring tool and bender from the auto parts store.

The tri-system of one circuit, one e brake and one foot do not thrill me..
Therefore..any help to keep us safe and sane are welcome.
best,
