you would need to run a seamless stainless line. this prevents corrosion and can withstand high psi... this does reduce the risk of melting or haveing a blow out, but in my experience when you hardline a system it is much harder to have a leak-free system. also if you do punture or smash or destroy a hardline in any way while you are out on the road it is hard to "patch" it to get moving again.
Why? the air pressure in a bag system is very low compared to what a steel line can withstand. Your brake lines are steel and "hopefully" leak-free.
