I'm convertng an old road bike to a city hybrid style bike. What kind of brake levers should I use for side pull or center pull brakes? should I use linear pull brake levers or non linear pull brake levers?

you talking for a flat bar, not a drop bar, right?

Definitely non-linear pull levers, the kind designed for cantile ver brakes, the kind we all used until the world went to crap.
