I'd use pex and I can sweat copper! Why? You can have long runs with less fittings. You can put a distribution manifold in that allows you to isolate if you need to work on a certain branch rather than shutting off the whole system or large parts of it. Pex doesn't care about water quality. Pex expands (probably not a big selling point for your area) if it freezes and has less tendency to burst. The tools to install Pex are relatively cheap. In tight spaces you don't have to worry about catching things on fire because you're sweating fittings. Lots of benefits to pex over copper. I can't think of many benefits of copper vs Pex.
