Steve > > Steve, I've used stainless lines on quite a few occasions, and have not had any major problems. The ones I did have were related to surface irregularities on the mating surface between the flare and the male receiver. If there are irregularities on the tapered part of the receiver, the stainless is a harder material than the standard steel lines, and will not conform to the shape (nicks, scratches, burrs, etc) as readily. But if you're using all new lines for the entire project, I don't believe it'll be a problem. I've used lines from the "Right Stuff Detailing" in Columbus, OH (800-405-2000), and have been fairly impressed with the fit of the lines and quality of workmanship. Plus, they're fairly close to you, so shipping should be fairly quick.
