I've completely replaced the plumbing in five houses now. I do it all myself and use plastic with the copper and brass connectors. The plumbing is the easy part, the time consuming bit is fixing the holes in the drywall...

Copper is SO expensive I don't use it other that a couple of meters either side of the hot water cylinder, and unless the rest of the house is done in it and it's only a meter or two type repair.
