Regarding line diameter, the only thing a bigger line accomplishes is more fluid in the line. once the system is bled properly the lines could be an inch in diameter without affecting the ratio of master cylinder displacement VS caliper piston movement.

OK, just to be clear, I'm not asking about master cylinder displacement. Obviously the same
volume of fluid will be displaced by the M.C. regardless of line size. But would that fluid have to travel further in a smaller diameter line than it would in a larger line due to less volume per inch of line in the smaller line to accommodate the same fluid displacement as the larger line? If so, then caliper piston travel would also have to be longer.
Again, I'm not a fluid dynamics person, and could be completely off in my thinking. I've seen some articles that confirm my thinking, and some that contradict it. No idea whether the authors know anything either! Obviously somebody has to be wrong.
