Another thing to consider for a good flare is line prep before flaring. Make sure the end of the tube is "square" after you cut it to length. I typically use a very fine tooth hack saw blade. Tubing cutter have a tendency to squish the tube as you cut it off. Then after the cut deburr the inside of the tube. I like using a #3 center drill or a small counter sink bit.
These are good tips!
