What I've seen in the shop is - 

Actual flare fittings (hard line to caliper, rear union, etc.) - 7/16" wrench. Thread 3/8x24 . Pretty regular. 
Hoses - again 3/8x24 thread. Wrench size could be 9/16, 14mm, 15mm, or 5/8" 
Bleeder screws - What a cornucopia! recently I've seen 7mm, 8mm, 5/16", 7/16" 3/8" and an E-Type with a 1/4-28 bolt (but that's beside the point.)
