Hi,
Since I'm replacing pads and rotors, I planning on also replacing brake line hoses. Any opinions on stock vs. stainless steel? I've read mixed reviews on some brands. Anyone happy with the SS choice? if so which brand? or just spend more on stock?
Thanks.

I went with fresh stock Porsche branded hoses. Original s lasted 25 yrs with no issue, I expect the new ones to do the same. My car is primarily street use. Pedal is solid. Consider a really good set of snap-on flare wrenches to make the job trouble free.

I am planning to change my hoses to stainless and ordered Techna-fit. The decision was 1) DOT rated 2) The front hoses come with the factory hose protector just like OEM Porsche.

This is simple stuff. ATE is/was the OEM supplier and they still offer the exact replacement hoses specific for 993 complete with the spring wound shield for not a lot of money from your favorite online supplier. I just replaced all the rubber bits on my '95 just due to age. I cut open one of the 30 year old ATE original hoses and there was no swelling or other problems internally whatsoever. However they were still 30 years old. SS braided hoses will give you some kind of bragging rights and a look and see at the Cars & Coffee.
