Depends on connector size, if your using a 1.8th port on a valve.. theres no point using 12mm pipe its a waste of weight and space, due to the bore of the connector probably being alot less then the bore of your pipe.. Obviously use the biggest bore connectors on rams/valves etc

Ive always used this as a guide;
M5- 4mm pipe
1/8BSP - 6mm pipe
1/4BSP - 8mm pipe
3/8BSP - 10mm pipe
1/2BSP - 12mm or 14mm pipe

Keep lengths of pipe and elbows etc to a minimum for best flowrate.
