STAINLESS STEEL BRAIDED TEFLON
While the steel braided over a hose liner does serve to protect the liner, its primary function is to reinforce the liner. A plain Teflon tube will only take a small amount of pressure, and tends to kink very easily when flexed. Adding braid creates a hose capable of handling very high pressures, and actually improves flexibility somewhat.
The hose wears out when the braid wires fatigue or corrode, or if it is damaged. The Teflon doesn't age, and is unaffected by brake fluid (and just about everything else). The Teflon hoses are favored in high-performance applications because they have an effectively infinite working life, if the proper hose is properly installed, and the Teflon liner doesn't give under pressure like a rubber liner does, so hydraulic systems function more crisply and efficiently.
