min standard

Minimum standard in the US is NEC (National electrical codes). Local authority can make it more restrictive but not less. If you use any type of metallic conduit you will be required to bond the conduit to ground. The use of PVC is ok when not exposed to physical damage and schedule 80 is used. Stapling to the bottom of the joist will be ok as long as you have a drop ceiling. Romex must be protected from physical damage (Sheetrock, plywood, acoustical ceiling). In general romex in less then six feet is overlooked.
