Default hard oil feed line

So i am thinking of using a hard oil Feed line instead of braided. Are there any cons i should know of?

any reason you dont wanna do a braided line?.. unless your bends are super clean it will look horrible..

I just wanted to try something different. I have a braided line but i still like how easy and clean solid line turned out to be.
