I thought about running hard-line but opted to go with the "easy" route. The push-lock airline fittings are a breeze to install and the insulated loom was a nice, clean option to add a little more durability to the system. I'm thinking that I am also going to carry around some spare parts with me... a few feet of airline and some straight-through puch-lock fittings so I could perform a "roadside" repair if needed.

I hope I don't come across as knowing a lot about this stuff because, quite frankly, I am learning as I go along. These are just some of the ideas I have come up with after thinking about it for hours, days, even weeks sometimes. Everyone's comments are greatly appreciated.
