Braided cables vs Stock cables.

Braided cables vs Stock cables.
Hi guys. Looking at possibly getting new cables. Searched the forums and seen a lot of threads on people adding braided cables to their bike, but can't find a thread stating if there's any advantages, or disadvantages. And being the newb that I am...I'd appreciate some insight on it.
I put some 10" Carlini Evil Apes on my 2010 vivid black fxdc...but don't know if I should go with the stainless steel lines? Who gives the best price on them? Where to look for these so called black braided lines? Or if it's not worth it and I should just keep the stock ones? etc.
Any insight is appreciated. I understand some may do it because they cosmetically like the look of the stainless braided lines more. Just wondering if there's something else I may be missing. Are they a pain in the *** to care for compared to stock?

Braided cables are stronger and there for the brake line will hold a higher pressure and give you more brake power. As far as brands I prefer Magnum cables. They are less expensive than the overpriced Harley Diamond Backs and much nicer.

I probably will be sending you one this weekend as well. I'm at work all night tonight and won't be able to look into my options until this weekend. tTanks for all the replies guys.
Now to try and figure out if I want Chrome or Black braided lines on a vivid black fxdc with Chrome bars and black controls. Thoughts? Can't view them on the computers here. Google images are blocked at work...as well as this site. And I'm replying now on a phone that's too small for good images.
Damn work intranet.
