What are you V8/Suby/Watercooled conversion type guys running for cooling lines?

I'm planning on going up the center of the car, underneath, in those two 'grooves'/indentations.

The Gates hose guy has lots of options.

Got pictures? P/N's? I.D.'s?

I am running 1" hardlines under the car in the grooves. The theory of a smaller diameter line is you can move the coolant a greater diatance easier. No problems for 8 years. They are copper and some are aluminum. I get beat up all the time when people realize they are copper, but radiators and coooling components were made from soldered copper for years. If the system exceeds 450 deg and 100 lbs of pressure, there are bigger problems than the solder melting and the seams bursting.
I will dig up some pics
