As long as it's fuel rated anything is fine. The thicker the walls the better in my opinion. Nice and thick with plenty of reenforcement.
Just get what you want and put it in. I've bought hose from about every car parts chain out there. It's all as good as each other.
Make sure it's not too long. Rubbing can cut a line in hours. On sharp things in minutes.
If at first you don't succeed. Build, build again.

Good lord, where did you dig that up from.....short answer, NO.
Perhaps you are confusing carb with EFI, in which case there sure is a difference and about 3 times the price as well.
Braided lines for fuel? Your driving a Vee Dub dude not a fighter jet!
You will answer your question for yourself when you go down to your local Enzed outlet and get a quote.
Good chance the fuel lines will be pricier than you entire car LMAO!!
