Default opinions on best way to replace fuel lines on an EK

all right so I've done a bit of online hunting and there isn't much out there for fuel lines. I found the OEM set for about $240, nylon flexible tubing for cheap, and Russell aluminum tubing for $80.

The way I see it I have three easy options:

1: buy OEM lines and some nylon hose, cut the oem lines where they thread through the body at the back of the engine compartment and use nylon to thread through.

2: buy nylon hose and just run straight nylon along the underbody.

3: buy aluminum tubing for the run under the passenger compartment and nylon to link it at both ends.

Honestly I've been leaning towards nylon line all the way. I can add extra mounts (91598-S04-013) to keep it from sagging. Can anyone with experience think of a reason to go more expensive?

thanks for reading~
