I would prefer steel brake lines, but copper can work for awhile.
Steel lines in areas that don't move/shift/flex and good VW hose in areas
that would cause flexing.
Secure those lines too so they don't vibrate.
Just me but I have had my '72 Bradley GT catch fire near the engine and fuel
tank due to new but inferior hoses.
No main damage just some wiring issues and I lost a jacket beating out the
flames. Made me rewire the whole car to get rid of that spaghetti look and
install a new set of gauges in a custom console.\
JCWhitney was my friend back then and they were still in Chicago. <g>
Be careful!!!!! 8^)
