I've put stainless steel or braided lines on many bikes, mainly to achieve the right length, but don't find they offer any improvement over stock rubber covered lines. Withe either stainless or rubber covering, the brake fluid is contained in the same hard nylon line within. The stainless and rubber only provide abrasion protection.
My CB1100's brakes are as good as anything I've tried, giving lots of power and good lever feel.
