Are all SS Brake Lines The Same

I am currently doing my research on upgrading the brake lines on my 335i with stainless steel ones. I've seen different brands and the vast majority of the kits sold by various vendors utilize BMW OEM grommets and hardware, which I like.

Now, the question that I have is this: given that I am only looking for ss brake line kits that use original BMW hardware connectors, is there any difference between the different products? Is there a particular brand I should avoid or look for? ...or should I go for the cheapest I can find?

Examples:

Challenge SS Lines Kit ($125):

ECS Tuning Kit ($129 - backordered):

G-Stop Brake Line Kit ($168):

AMS Brake Line Kit ($170):

UUC Brake Line Kit ($120):

I can definitely find more examples, but I am sure you get the point...

So what's recommended and what's to be avoided? Are they all the same? Should I just go for the cheapest I can find?

Thanks
