Steel imo.
3/8 feed, 5/16 return if you need it. I can't tell you how much, that depends how you route it. Protip: buying a 20ft roll of 3/8 steel line is the dirt cheapest way to get it, and its very handy to keep around the extra, as you WILL mess up somewhere.
Technically any of the hardlines will work, however if you plan on using the hardline-braided line AN tube adapters, you need to be careful with the softer options like the aluminum, or the very hard like stainless.
Soft lines can get over-bitten by the fittings, and can chafe or puncture from repeated bending (which happens if you don't have properly designed braided/hose sections to absorb the movement).
Stainless lines are harder than the ferrule in the fittings, and sometimes it means the fittings don't get a proper bit and seal on the line. This can cause a little leaking from the base of the fitting.
