replacing the hard gas fuel li

replacing the hard gas fuel lines on my 34c silverton. about 6 feet from tank to filter then 6 feet or so to the engine. lot of bends though. any thoughts on using approved rubber as apposed to steel or copper? i know the hull to engine has to be flexible and i already have new steel from fuel pump to carb. replacing them because they are original from '85 and some spots seem like they are questionable. i have gone over the boat and did it right without skimping and want it right. thanks. rick
