I find the best/fastest way to cut lines is with a cold chisel and a 4lb hammer. Clean cuts, no frays, no need for tape and it keeps the braid tight so when you put the fitting on all the braid goes into it.
But going back to what fittings you need, it is dependent on what type of hose you bought and the manufacturer of the hose. You can mix/match hose/fittings between manufacturers, but you have to make sure everything works for the sizes/specification of the hose. Generally the manufacturers dont recommend mixing/matching
