Default 2002 Dakota Brake line flare type?

Working on doing brake lines on a 2002 Dakota SXT 4WD, 2 wheel abs, rear drums 9.25" I believe. What flare type do I need to use for the brake lines? I researched and found that it says bubble flare. But when I pulled it off the same exact Dakota at the junkyard it was an inverted flare. Does it matter which flare I use? Any help is appreciated. Also if anyone knows how to do an inverted flare, please share your knowledge I'm not able to find a good reliable source on how to do it.

On my 01, the master cylinder end was bubble flare, the distribution block end was bubble flare, the front calipers were bubble flare, but the rear wheel cylinders were inverted flare.

so it's kind of a mish mash.

Youtube has good tutorials for brake flaring.
