I'm not going to say SS are better or worse than rubber - they each have pros & cons.
BUT be aware anything over 2" lift you should have extended rear lines.
Also in the 8 years we've been selling SS lines we've never had a single issue with the quality or life of the lines.

No the US military uses the Humvee, the H1 Hummer was the road going version, I looked over one when they were available new and was surprised by the way they were set up underneath and I swear that they had braided lines for brakes etc, of course this may be a carry over from the Humvee...

I've got a Wooders SS braid extended brake line in the rear of my XJ and when I can afford it the front will get them too.
They are very well made and I don't see them failing anytime soon. Rubber/teflon or whatever inside, SS braid and then what looks to be a 1 - 2 mm thick flexible plastic (ptfe?) coating over the SS.
cheers

On my Wooders line the plastic cracked from sun and heat. But can't see it affecting anything.

Yupp, in the military Radar systems we changed out every fluid line from rubber to PTFE. no more cracks, no more fatigue.
These were all static lines... 
Yes, I extended the rear line- used a YP line. I do use green stuff 7000 pads, because sometimes I love to scare passenger cars....
