My favorite material to work with is pvc because its cheap and solvent welding is easy.

Copper and brass looks better and hold more ppressure, but are expensive. Aluminum would be pretty cool though.

im cheap so definately pvc. i would rather it be cheap and a little less durable than to look good as long as it performs the same.

PVC. cheap, proven, durable, readily available, and easy to work with. but for anything over 150-200 psi, I like to use galvanized steel.

Pringles can's and duct tape, quick and easy and disposable!
EDIT: I forgot, you get to eat them nasty pressed potato chips as well.

Well i like our highest pressure rated pvc but i would love some sch 80 for my hybrid it has a rating pressure of upto 100psi more then our highest classed pipe and ours is really hard to get and expenisive but enough bitching..I'd say copper and brass and steel i like there pressure ratings.
