I felt obligated to report about my experience since I received so much help here.I chose to install the Dorman preformed kit.I found it on Amazon for about $85.00.With the help of my good neighbor it took us about 8 hours and didn't present any major obstacles.Since we couldn't view some of the lines,riding on top of the frame rails, we had to do it by feel in order to release the lines from the clips.It was a little slow going but we finished it and they're working perfectly.
Thank you forum members.

Hey Raymond 1960, glad to hear you didn't run into any major obstacles as I'm about to do this job myself. I had a line burst on my '03 Yukon Denali and when I put it up on the lift it was obvious that all the brake lines should be replaced. I went with the NiCopp kit from Rock Auto after looking at all the options. Hopefully I made the right choice.
My timing must have been good as I paid $104.79 when I ordered a couple days ago but I see the same kit at RA is now listed for $140.79.
The scary thing is my fuel lines don't look much better than the brake lines so they will probably get done next.
I'll let you know how it went in a week or two. I'm sure it will help a lot that I have a lift in my garage.

I got the job done and the NiCopp lines were nice to work with. Easy to bend by hand without kinking even when the bends were pretty tight.
I'm glad I didn't go with the prebent lines as I can't imagine how you could snake them into place without raising the body off the frame a couple inches.
