The biggest difference made by stainless steel brake lines is to improve the "solid" feel of the brake pedal and reduce pedal travel, because the lines don't expand nearly as much as standard lines do when you step on the brake pedal.
No?

Brake fade can also be caused by going past the maximum operating temperature of the pads. In this case the pedal would feel the same, however the car would feel like it's not stopping.
StopTech has kit which is equal to brembo if not better in quality. We actually have a stiffer caliper. Not only that but our kits maintain proper brake balance. The kits are also a few hundred dollars cheaper. Consider a Stoptech kit. I think you would be very satisfied with it.
If you are going show, and performance doesn't matter, than any kit will do.
