I’m also interested to know opinions on this as I am looking to sort my brakes soon.
I would’ve leaned towards HEL as they’re a UK business and are also a member of the S2000 community having their own S and that.
However, like yourself I’ve heard some not very good feedback/opinions recently of their latest batches (nothing negative about their early stuff though?) & for me something as important as brake lines I wouldn’t want to risk anything, unless HEL could provide some heavy reassurance that any manufacturing defects had now been designed out.
Goodridge are an old UK staple, so I would think a safe bet & Mtec are the other name for Mugen, so again could probably be considered very good. I don’t know anything about TGW, but hopefully someone else can advise on them & any of the others.
Possibly a curve ball for you, but who makes Spoon brake lines? Sometimes the many race brands are virtually the same product from the same factory just with a different badge on..

HEL were the go to but I haven't found anyone who has fitted recently to debunk that thread about bad fittings so I'm gonna duck them..
Probably go Goodridge I think.

I bought the Hell lines the fronts were perfect fit, the rears the angle of the union was wrong so i phoned hell and they were super helpful and sent a new set out by return of post and they fitted perfect
