Braided front brake hose

I am going to replace my front brake lines with braided hoses. There is a choice of standard fitment going from one caliper to the other and clips across the front mudguard or two separate single lines straight from the resovoir. Any comments on which ones to fit?

Twin hoses straight from the master cylinder is generally considered better but the standard setup is perfectly adequate for the Tiger, they're not cutting edge sports bikes so it's unlikely you or I will notice a difference. The originals will be braided although it might not be obvious so don't expect a startling improvement, a good scrub up, fresh fluid and pads will be as much benefit.

I'd say go with whichever costs you less.
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint
