HEL are straight lines, and go from the calliper back to the hardline at the car. I have heard for some wearing through the line, as the attachement point isnt provided by HEL so you have to knock your own up. HEL owners can confirm this, as I never had a set, but one person did ask my about Goodridge as their HEL had worn through.
Goodridge are the same setup as OEM just made with better lines (ie SS, not rubber). They have 2 connecting blocks on the front, which can be a weak point, if not tightened properly at installation. However they do not suffer the same wearing issues that HEL can have.
Either line is good if installed properly. If I were to get some again, I would go for HEL but make sure the mount for them is sound as the lines can wear through if mounted incorrectly.
