I'll never install a copper line again.

Not that this is probably top of mind when installing that kind of thing, but another issue with copper these days is its resale value. My in-laws old place was empty while they were trying to sell it, and someone broke into the crawl space and cut out all the copper piping. They had to re-plumb the entire place.
