I don't even think new rubber brake hoses are available anymore, which makes
the question rather moot. But in any case, the only disadvantage to braided
stainless steel/teflon hoses are the increased cost. Otherwise, they are
stronger, more durable, and don't balloon like rubber hoses, delivering better
pedal feel as a result.
Don't even think twice about the decision to switch to new hoses--just go for
it! :>)
