The original lines are well protected and last the life of the car unless you have burned them from floor pan or clutch tube replacement.
If you have to replace them the biggest reason not to use the copper lines is that Racer Chris at Tangerine Racing makes SUPERB stainless lines bent in the original configuration for easy installation and longevity.

I will second that. I have installed 2 sets. They go in nice and SS is not going to corrode. Price is reasonable and you will have no doubts as to it's longevity.
