For stopping power, lines won't matter.
Yes, stainless lines help with pedal feel and modulation. But one needs to consider the context... no point in running a superior pad (higher temp range) than stock, only to have it limited by stock fluid and/or lines. Pads + fluid/lines are easy mods that improve the braking performance. You can go without line upgrades but if one isn't going BBK, it's a definite worthwhile upgrade to have when changing out to better brake fluid.
For the average driver, lines and pads make the biggest difference in terms of feel. And if one were to swap out lines, you'll need to replace fluid anyhow.
