Would have to say that copper piping is far superior to pex, or cpvc anyday! Copper may cost more than the other two but in the long run it will save you many hassels and repairs that will come along with pex or cpvc. Copper is rigid and will not expand and contract lik the other two will. Copper will give you an average of 30 to 50 yrs of service if done properly. It is also not prone to vermin chewing on the lines and is much easier to thaw if frozen. When pex needs repair bulkier fittings are required making the access holes cut to fix it much larger and much more unorderly in the walls. Copper will not break as easy and can take a brush by a nail or screw from a picture hanging expedition, where palstic tubing will pierce easily. Pex and cpvc become brittle and can suffer from cracks, kinks and collapsing that copper will not do. Copper will hold valves and hose bibbs, etc. stiff in place and is alot less prone to breakage from being bumped or pulled on. I could list alot of things but I will just tell you that in my experience of commercial and residential building, copper has many more advantages that are not shared by pex or cpvc.
