Well nothing is certain., the twisting force placed upon them is significant. I know of one person who has had no problems with braded lines but they were modified (I don't know how) .........they tend to break where the line meets end/banjo joint. The rubber lines twist, and being rubber they cope with it with ease, braided lines are made of nylon and have virtually zero ability to twist. Also OEM lines tend to give you a warning of failure before they give up totally, giving you chance to replace them safely. Braided lines just go and as they are covered in a stainless overbrade, you can't see any indication of them beginning to go!

Braided lines get fitted to race cars and are checked after every race, our good old road cars don't get such attention, they get fitted and left for years, it would be a safe bet to say that 99% of people do not check their brake lines either weekly or monthly, in fact I bet most don't even check them yearly!.

I have some pictures somewhere of failed brake lines, I will post them up if I find them, it's not pretty.
