If you have cable, ditch the conduit.

I work around electrical inspectors. They will not pass anything that does not follow NEC to the letter. If a cable has not been UL tested and approved to be placed in conduit, then doing so would be inconsistent with code.
I dunno about Vern's black-sheathed cable, but I would guess it is like a black style of Romex. NM rated. If so, then you just staple it to the floor joists. They like to see neat workmanship, BTW.
