Aluminum works great. I used 3/16" Nylo-Seal tubing as purchased from Aircraft Spruce and installed per the directions in Aircraft Spruce Catalog using Poly-Flo fittings. It is still available. I only used Nylo-Seal for it's flexibility in the area around the rudder pedals. Nothing wrong with installing aluminum all the way through the system if the brake cylinders don't move. In fact, I would recommend it. On my plane, the brake lines transition from Nylo-Seal to aluminum before the hydraulic line reaches the wheel fairings for fire prevention reasons.
