DO NOT use the "barrel" type, they can and have cut into the brake line tubing. Only use the "hat" type. The barrel type has the possiblities of getting slightly "cocked" while drawing up the compression nut and cutting into the tubing. The hat type will stay straighter or aligned and will not cut into the tubing.
The ones Tom Smith has shown on here are excellent pieces.
