I seem to remember hearing once that it was murder on a car's paint over long term exposure...if that's the case, how will silicone/vinyl tubing stand up?

It's always nice to hear from a fellow Canadian, even if he's a Maple Leaf fan...
You might be right about the fluid being bad for the paint, but I don't think it's because it's corrosive, it's probably just because it will strip wax off, and may soften the clearcoat. I wouldn't worry about it. As for tubing, if you're concerned, then use that Tygon 3603 that everyone is talking about, as it's made specifically for chemicals, but otherwise, I'm pretty sure that it won't harm any kind of tubing.
The only item of concern is galvanic corrosion. I am probably going to use some kind of anti corrosive agent, but if the rig is all copper, then it's not a concern.
