Cu-Ni vs. Steel for brake lines

So, I'm in the middle of restoring my frame. My hard brake lines are all shot, and I think I'm a reasonably handy guy, so I'm going to give it a go on making my own brake lines.

Trying to decide between Cu-Ni and steel brake line. I've heard the Cu-Ni is slightly easier to work, and I'm strongly attracted to its corrosion resistant properties, but I thought I would get some thoughts before I proceed.

Not that it should make a difference, but I'm working on a '37 115c.
