You can go with what the kit provides, that appears to work well. However Aircraft Specialty Flightlines has made available a lot of options that improve on the per plans stock design. I'll reference my RV-10 build again because the 14 kit does seems to have improved on the fuel selector.
On the 10 I went with a type 7 selector, center console throttle quadrant, AFP fuel pump, and stainless steel lines. Fit and form it all gives a polished look to the install. My biggest angst with this system is getting to the fuel filter once a year involves removing from the tunnel and inspecting. Reinstallation and checking for leaks is equally frustrating.
On this build I'm going with RV14 Cabin Fuel Hose Kit #3
'This kit is designed to plumb your RV14/14A in the stock configuration. It includes CNC bent and flared Rigid tubes for the cabin of the aircraft as well as for the wing roots. The only change from the stock configuration is that the tube that goes from the Pump to the Firewall is changed to a flex hose for vibration isolation. #3 includes a WING ROOT FILTER kit instead of the tunnel mounted fuel filter.'
I worked through the fuselage installation and it really could not have been any easier. Don't have my wings yet but I assume those will install easily as well. Here are some pics from their installation guide.
