Another vote for the press fits, I’ve used both Sharkbite and other big box store brands. The only time I’ve ever had an issue is when I haven’t adequately cleaned and burnished the pipe end. FIL is a contractor and has used them for years, no issues. They also have the advantage of installing when the pipe is wet, which you can’t do with solder. I used them in multiple spots when I was tapping into existing lines, and then will typically solder the rest (first) since they are pricey.
