Man, this is seriously like asking if an R compound tire is "really that much better" for track use than a stock-equipped goodyear tire. People are gonna question your credibility before long if you keep asking this.
I think we're on a different page here. I'm not saying use OEM lines. They're overpriced and, like you said, deteriorate.

Once again, the question being, are SS lines worth getting over hydraulic shop lines (not OEM) as far as quality, reliability, durability, etc.?

Obviously they require more effort than clicking "Order". However, for those of us with limited money, a bit of effort can be worth it.
