Reassurance...
They are only really worth it on rally cars. The only main benefit is the extra protection.

Firming braking. Less chance of brake lines flexing.

Stops the brake lines bulging, meaning the fluid goes into the caliper instead of balooning before it, so you get all the pressure into the caliper.

yes, its a trade secret though. 
there are 2 different types of union on the car, 1 is a male fitting, the other if female. if the car has the female end on you need the male fitting on the end of the hose, or vice versa.
unless ypour car is a bit camp, in which case get 2 male fittings
