Lightbulb Engine Bay Fuel Line overhaul

This is like a 50/50 question and discussion but the overall topic is just replacing the engine bay fuel lines.

I have a strong stench of fuel in the cabin from starting my 240 after a while of it staying. Now it's very strong and I think I know why and I think you guys know why based on the title. Regardless I'm going to overhaul my current oem fuel lines that are rusty, rotted, cracked, and whatnot with new -6 hoses and fittings but want to see what the community has to say.

Lets go over the parts, which are all pretty much Earls plumbing stuff.

*390006ERL - -6 Nylon Cover, PKR hose. PKR rubbers offer resistance to
cold temperatures so this wont be as prone to be cracking vs
traditional fuel lines

230626ERL - 100gph which equates to 378.5lph? For me, its overkill and if
somebody can list a lesser alternative because I'm using stock
pump? Hell you can reuse your z32/s13 stock filter but I like
the small appearance.

300106ERL - straight -6 hose to -6 female

309106ERL - fuel filter -> 90 degree -> hose

981506ERL x2 - Inlet / Outlet of fuel filter

I am only questioning about the hose as its not ptfe line or as it never stated and I'm sure ptfe lined hoses can dramatically reduce the fumes emitting from the hoses. All be it you can chose any hose you'd like as long as its -6 because the fuel hardlines' OD equates to -6 hoses. Nonetheless, what do you guys think; anything I should change? Or should I just use a typical rubber/nylon hose setup and be done w it?

They sell for like $35 at auto parts store, a very easy to bend hard fuel line replacement roll.

I avoid the braided/soft type of hoses on daily drivers. I would stick to a quality hard steel line.

Hard lines do seem the way to go but how do you go about it; do you replace the rubber fuels in the bay? If so, how do you mate the hard lines to the already existing hard lines?

Now that you brought it up, hard lines are a great alternative and I suppose hard lines are a better alternative versus braided|soft for the cheap.
