I have tried both types of handles, and I personally dont like the stiff and hard ones (the first link) because a couple times when I fell (dont ask how it happened haha) but I hit my head on it pretty good, and I kno some people will be like.."dumby wumby kid" haha but I also like the feel of the "softer" handles. But I dont know how that leather grip would be... Question

This is the set I have been using and my only complaint is that the grip is uncomfortable.
As for lines, if you want to go balls out then go for the "thermal" lines (from straight line) or the Proline AK series. And if you dont want to spend the extra $10 then the Viper lines from SL arent bad at all.
Hope that helps!
