There's always Jagg. The ONE thing about the Jagg I like is the higher mount - and since half the fittings are not directly under the bike, it gives it a 50% chance that if it fails catastrophically the oil will soak my left leg vs. 100% guaranteed to soak the rear wheel.

But the UC uses AN fittings which are supposed to be pretty blow off proof. I'd really like to know if the older, leaky ones used them.

I converted my Jagg to AN fittings but it's kind of a PITA. Just get aircraft grade fittings, like Aeroquip. One of the 90° ones I picked up from Summit lasted almost exactly 11 months, 1 month shy of the warranty being up. They made good on the refund but I still had oil slowly misting on the left side of my bike and leg. Still redid both lines with Aeroquip, they don't turn from black to purple due to crappy anodizing either.
If you get the Ultracool you don't have to even worry about getting AN fittings on the lines, probably a better deal just not having to mess with that crap.
