Default Do's and donts to brake line bending?

Doing my first complete brake line job, and before I got to far into it i wanted to ask you guys if there were any do's and donts I needed to look out for. I started by using aluminum tube thats the same size as the stainless I plan on doing the system in because Its so easy to change stuff around. SO keep in mind these are just mock up material.

So far here is the progress, the ABS pump has proven to be the most challenging as you can see.






2nd Try

Went back at it some more trying to get it to look better, learned something with the Offset 45 bends. I think this is how it will end up, the two lines that dissapear are for the rear brakes im sure those will become a PITA to figure out also, but atleast they are hidden. The top 3 lines travel back over to the Master Port1&2 and FL caliper. I didnt connect all of those since im waiting on some custom machined brackets to hold the lines in place.
