Stainless steel, and never worry about them again. Several Corvette parts suppliers sell them pre-bent to fit specific model years, so it's easy.

Hi J74,
Although I agree that ss lines will last longer, the steel lines are easier to bend and straighten if you're going to replace the lines with the body in place.
Just a thought!

You need the return line if you are using the stock fuel pump. It is meant to reduce percolation of the fuel, which is the usual cause of vapor lock.

SS is hard to work with and if it does not seat against the pump you are scrod. It's hard to put subtle bends in it too. Aluminum will probably seat ok. As will steel. Get a tubing bender in case you gotta' work it a little. Aluminum or steel will outlast you and your car.
