even the nylon pipe with brass olive-compression fittings will not suddenly fail - unless you suddenly get massive oil pressures (e.g. double the scale on the gauge). the gauge would have to explode for you to get a face full of oil.
they'll leak eventually - but by then so will have other things under/outside the bonnet.
if you're worrying about leaking:
use teflon tape on the brass threads
rubber grommets on thru-holes and any clamps
the heat will make the nylon brittle after many years so if that worries you, get h/duty or braided hose.
externally mounted is so ghey...
