My brother has got the 5 part D. Adams trilogy...so I borrow them whenever I feel like running back through the series. I find it works well for books and tools among other things.
Back to brakes, we typically stock new 98-02 F-body MC's and sell them for $125 each. These are quite nice for the inclined installations since the reservoir is tilted to match, but work fine on the horizontal installations as well. For the money, it's tough to beat. The C5/C6 MC's are very similar to the F-body, but with a flat fill cap/reservoir and the ports on the opposite side (driver's instead of passenger's). Port threads vary between the two as well, but all are going to be metric ISO.
Other 1" bore MC's from the aftermarket suppliers like Wilwood, CPP, etc are alson decent options, depending on what you're looking for.
For a 4-wheel disc car, 3/16" lines work well. Smaller diameter lines experience less expansion under pressure than larger diameter lines, so in the interest of reducing system compliance, 3/16" lines are a good thing. You will need to swap hard line fittings anywhere you're converting from 1/4" though, such as the hard line from the combination valve/distribution block to the back of the car. Still should be a standard tube nut.
