Default Fuel line

I installed new fuel and vabor lines. Installed a new fuel pump. Now the question. What are you guys using the connect the hard fuel line to the fuel pump. I do have the rubber line from one of the vendors but my concern is todays fuel degrade rubber and I do not want to take a chance with a rubber fuel line. Unless the new lines are ok with todays fuels. Anyone know or have advice.

I use the fuel injection rated rubber line available virtually anywhere. Many say absolutely use the s-line available from Vette vendors for the main in to the pump. I used rubber but ran it thru a copper elbow so it would hold a turn and not kink (if you use 3/8 rubber from the hard line to the pump it usually kinks at the sharp turn, which will cause you problems.
