For the small lines I prefer 4mm. Some like 3.5mm, but I find they are too small which tends to make them crack at the ends. You'll need about 10 ft of these. Several of these hoses are a bit ricky. One goes to the charcoal cannister (it disapears into the fender well and can be manipulated throught the indicator assembly or by removing the inner fender.) Another goes from the Y connector that also feeds the hooter valve back into the dash for the APC gauge. I just spliced into this one, as it is obviously a pain to get to the part behind the dash. You should be able to follow the rest from the intake manifold.
The turbo/APC hoses are 6mm. It's important to keep the length of these similar to stock as I've heard you can get some weird effects otherwise. I'm not sure how much you'll need of this, but certainly no more than 5 ft.
The brake booster hose and big hose to the charcoal cannister are 8mm. 10ft of this should be ample.
Some like to use the silicon hose from Hose Techniques as it looks nice (red matches your DI cassette) and it will last basically forever, which is a good thing considering how sensitive our cars can be to vacuum leaks.
