Asuming you are using a Sierra based braking system, The rigid pipework will be 3/16" ...... The pipe unions are M10 x 1.0 thread

Copper pipe will be fine .............. Personally I prefer Kunifer pipe & only a couple of quid a roll dearer

The standard Sierra master cylinder should be fine

Answer to the outlet question,use the three outlet one and the two front's go to the left and right calipers and the single one for the rear brakes.
