I suspect that your vapor lock problem has less to do with fuel line material and more to do with location. Also, it's unlikely your vapor locking is happening between the fuel pump and carb. Check the fuel line routing between the fuel tank and fuel pump. I'll bet it's too close to the exhaust.

Steel is used for fuel lines because it's stronger than copper and less likely to fatigue and break. Same reason you don't see copper brake lines.
