Default Brake lines and pads?

Casting a beady eye down the Hel catalogue, I noticed that they offer a two and three line front brake option for the curvy naked....

I reckon the two line job may be easier from an ongoing maintenance angle (and cheaper) but three could be easier to fit, no idea what the routing is like on the 2 line SV set up re fouling issues, presumably do-able without too much aggro. Venhill only seem to offer the three line option, surprised.

While I'm at it, I've found EBC HH pads pretty good on a variety of road machines over the years, anyone with experience of those have other recommendations?

I went for the 2 line kit, cheaper and easier to bleed

The two line option is definitely easier to work with.
Routing isn't too hard with the 2 lines, just remove all the gubbins from the stock hoses and cable tie them to the line splitter mount

Pads wise I've found that EBC street on the front and HH on the rear is a good combo as it gives good feel and control
