I went with the mopar and they are on rock auto for $30 a piece but they are now made longer in the fronts so you can replace the wheel speed sensors at the same time.

I just wanted a direct replacement since my skills are limited. If you have a large lift you may want to consider the length.

Get DOT approved brake lines and keep going. I bought Rough Country years ago and they've yet the fail and they're long enough to accommodate my 2.5" lift with no sweat. They're braided with a sleeve on it so you won't catch all of the debris and get it stuck in the line sheath.

Yep, those are what I bought. They were on eBay (again, been some years) and they were $20/ pair.

You might do a local search and find a hydraulic shop that can build them for you.
