There's not much to choose between them to be honest, those say they are Stainless which is good some cheaper ones use zinc plate mild steel banjos or even ali which I wouldn't get.
I've always used HEL or Goodridge. Anyway if you have the original rubber hoses on the bike they'll make quite a difference.
HEL would be my choice. Value and quality.
There goodridge hoses on there and they have just gone
The ones I've seen on eBay are stainless and I have a choice of silver or black stainless fittings , I'd normally go with Hel , but can't really afford the extra with the new discs and calipers

really can't afford HEL http://www.helperformance.com/moto#kit_manufacturer=1381&kit_model=1411&p=2
same price as the ones you put a link to, buy the HEL ones
They wasn't when I looked before
It's £90 with a rear line so £30 more for the hel set

worth every penny
"Never skimp on tyres or brakes"
Done a bit if digging and it would turn out that the wezmoto lines are made under licence from Hel..........
No need for new lines. Just follow the instructions below.

Tried to order set from wezmoto only to have it canceled and refunded as soon as I mentioned an accosato m/c and brembo m4 calipers ,saying he wouldn't know what hose to make as the angles are different? Am I going to have this problem everywhere I go?

quite probably, the kits sold are for 'a standard bike' so the fact you have changed the M/C and the calipers means you have a 'custom' system thereby you will need a 'custom' set of lines.
In reality you need to compare the position of the M/C banjo and the banjo connections on the Brembo caliper to see if they are in the same position/angle as the standard Tokico/Nissin setup.
Play around with stuff and things aren't always straightforward.

the place I ordered the callipers and disks from do a set of hell lines for the callipers and a brembo rcs master cylinder I think ill enquire about that as I think both m/c mount the banjo on the bottom

Also need to consider different banjo thread pitch sizes between Brembo and others ...
I've taken that into account , got the correct one for the m/c just need to check the brembos
