Default brake lines

I would like to replace my brake lines. They are the original rubber lines and I suspect that they are ballooning under pressure. Deciding between stainless (if I can find a good deal on them) or rubber replacements. Either @ this point will likely be a noticeable improvement. Suggestions?

How do I determine if I have 2 wheel or 4 wheel ABS? I'm looking @ Rockauto, but I could purchase other places.

Replacing pads also, as it is on the indicators. I would like to change rotors and calipers to the superior Expedition version at some point also, but I'm not in the mood to drop another $200 atm.

Look under the hood on the drivers side. See that lil box attached to the upper control arm mount. If you see 6 hoses coming out of it, its 4w abs. You can trace the lines.

I got my stainless lines at 4wheelparts .com paid $53 or so but I think they are like $70 now. That is fronts only, made a noticeable diff in braking.

Last time I looked they were way more expensive. Looks like ~$55 atm.

Looks like some @ Rockauto for $63 also.
