macro line- any lenght, easy installation, but you may find it unreliable with leaks.

ss line- nothing can go wrong, most reliable, most durable, not good for short spaces.

Macroline - looks pimp no matter what...different colors to match with gun, very easy to put on or remove, any lenght can be made from it. User friendly cheap to put on.

Steel Braided - Big, bulky, durable, can't bend as much. Very few sizes to choose from.

Both can have problems with leaks just need to put them on correctly. Macroline needes to be cut straight otherwise it might be a problem. Unless you need something very very extremely durable go with the Macroline...it just looks sexy on any gun.

Macro ----ERR I hate it, leaks and crap. But for small areas, like a big drop and a reg right above it, macro works nicely.

Steel > Macro.

go with the steel braided,sure it doesnt look as good and it doesnt bend to easily, but you will have a better chance of no leaks

well, macro dont leak unless u dont put tape on the threads. just cut it good, and make sure u push it in all the way, and i never had a problem with it, like i know some people do, if u got a very short macroline and like its bent pretty bad, then it will leak a bit and u will have to play with it till it stops.
