The Code permits PVC, copper or some kind of flexible stuff that's been on the market a few years.

I was more interested in general comments about the durability of one over the other.

Presumeably if a root presses on the pipe - copper would be a better solution than PVC - since the latter could simply split. But what do I know?

It seldom if ever freezes here, and the Code requires the pipes to be two feet underground in any case.
