I have drum brakes all around for now. Also have the proportioning valve for each line that is for the drum brakes.
So I want to be sure to use the right size line and make sure I don't need any other type valves or other things.

I run the 3/16 and it's probably cheaper to boot. Yes, you will tee off close to the left front wheel, and run that along the crossmember to the passenger side.
The remote reservoirs are cool... and they're also pretty expensive for a lid with some holes in them. You already have a lid, so I bet you could sort out how to add your own holes and fittings!
You can also just add a new hole in the cab floor above the reservoir. If you're using a floormat/carpet, this would probably get the job done:
