Doing my brake upgrade soon, and am going to change the lines. Should I go with Goodrich or Stoptech?

Default For some time, Goodridge did not make a B6 set. I have Stoptechs.
I don't notice a difference at all in pedal feel.

Can't go wrong with either one. I have Goodridge installed in my car.

Default Goodridge A4 lines were backordered in March, are they available now?
I don't know if the Goodridge lines have the external pvc shielding over the braiding, but I would definitely want lines that had this coating. Reduces the risk of something getting wedged into the braid and cutting the inner teflon line.
