Spiegler for brake lines and Motion Pro for cables. I've had multiple sets of each brand and have never had a single issue.

Had a few types most turn bad but a little thing I found seems to help. Put some clear silicon on the end where it attaches to the fitting to seal it. This way no elements get into the lines and most that I have had dont really seem to go bad from the outside. It seems water gets between the outer cover and the braid and causes all kinds of problems.
