I need to replace all 4 calipers and master cylinder on my 69, I was wondering which caliper should I use. I've seen steel lined and factory original. thanks

Get genuine Delco calipers that have been rebuilt with stainless steel sleeves. There some repro stuff on the market that's less expensive but I've heard a great deal of mixed reactions about them. Genuine Delco is the way to go.

The other acceptable alternative is to buy the high performance aftermarket such as Wilwood or others along with new slotted and drilled rotors. Unless you really do high performance driving, the stock system is more than good enough, and a lot less $.
