It sounds like you don't have a bottomless wallet for this project - so my advice (which, combined with $3.75 will get you a small coffee at Starbuck's) is to forget about the hoses for now until they need replacing.

If anything, just replace the sections on the engine itself - you can always go back to the other sections if/when needed. I've seen some pretty slick braided hose setups before - and if I'm not mistaken, there are only 4 sections in the engine - 2 between the fuel rails and pressure regulator, between fuel filter and one rail, and between filter and, something, I dunno. Then there is the return line - ok that's 5 sections so far. Most of these have the threaded fittings - I'm sure someone makes a ready-made braided version of these.

At least then you know you're relatively safe from fire - leave the rest. Of course, I'm still using my old ones - they look ok to me - and remember that rubber almost never sees UV light.
