I wouldn't want to use stainless steel for my brake pipes.

Why not use copper mate and make them yourself, just take your time and they will come out fine

I made two new rear brake pipes for my mk4 fiesta run around yesturday

You don't want SS solid lines, SS is way too brittle, and any amount of vibration anywhere will eventually fracture them,, on top of that you will have a non SS union on there anyway.
I would use KUNIFER 10, to make the pipes, SS braided are ok as they flex and so absorb vibration,
