Ahhh balony..... If you're worreid about Marmots, just leave a few radishes around. Marmots hate radishes.
Also, the SS lines don't feel any firmer than rubber lines, assuming that the rubber lines are in ok condition. Modern day rubber lines don't expand a bit under the pressures that they see in any application that you're likely to run them in.
There are quite a few reports of the SS lines failing BTW. Search around some on the web.
We also use rubber, and if we need longer ones, because of lifting, we simply get longer rubber lines made up.
