I have a straightener I've used for several years and wouldn't be without it. That's the only way to go with the coils of tubing whether mild steel,stainless or nicopp which is my favorite to work with. Nicopp is available in all sizes bends and flares easily and won't rust.

I've used stainless brake and fuel lines on several cars without issue. As mentioned, take your time un-bending and put a light coating of lithium grease between the flare and the nut. Once I started doing this, I haven't had any leaks. I'm on the east coast so even though my cars do not see bad weather, the humidity causes the hte zinc plating to oxidize.
