Brake line routing suggestions?

As my axle is mounted with a 4-link, i thought it would be neatest to run copper across the axle case, a tee on the left 4-link plate and braided hose along the upper bar to the chassis, swapping back to copper to run along the chassis rail.
Anyone used braided throughout? Any + or - reasons?
I then have the linelok (going in the rear line) and a bias adjuster to stick somewhere :scratch:

The fronts should be a lot simpler....

use braided just for body to axle case on the rear and body to caliper on the front

braided does expand when under pressure, nowhere near as much as a rubber flexi but if you use braided all over then the pedal will feel like stomping on marshmellows

you need as much hard line as possible and as little flexi as poss, just enough to do the job
