I'm going to be replacing the flexible brake hoses whilst replacing the shocks.

I've never owned brake flare spanners before. I know I need a 10mm. Is that the only size I need, or are there others?

Don't just rely on those. Make sure you have a set of good quality locking pliers (mole grips) too.

I found I needed two sizes when I was replacing the hard lines. It probably depends on whether any of the hard lines or flexis have been replaced on your car before.

I bought the Park Tool MWF-1 which covered 8mm and 10mm, but annoyingly I also needed an 11mm for the replacement unions.

So 10 & 11mm.... that all?
