Default Braided Fuel lines

I want to replace the standard fuel lines with some braided lines. There seems to be lots of different sizes avaiable, -6,-8 etc. Anyone have any ideas what size should i go for?? Already got the 044 pump,A1 rallysport fuel rail and fuellab FRP thought i might aswell do the fuel lines that join all this together

I'm -8 to Pumps and then -6 fron the Pumps to the Fuel Rail.

Then -6 again all the way back to the Tank.

Not sure if this helps ?
