We only use copper for the icemaker. PITA to work around the tight space, but it gives us a piece or mind that it reduces leakage. No code for that, so plastic is used all the time. We normally run 1/2" to the shut off then soft copper to the ref. I know, i know, what a waste of materials and labor, but knowing it would let go when you are on vacation is worth more then a couple of hundred bucks.
Oh, keep an eye on those braided lines. They leak at the joint due to over tightening.
