For a minimally-skilled do-it-yourselfer, the PEX/Flair-It route is the way
to go... considerably higher initial (materials) cost, but much, much
easier/faster installation. Also, subsequent repairs/modifications are
vastly simplified.

There are a couple of PEX manufacturing methods, the Engle (who invented it)
method embeds the fibres in the heated extrusion process, and is regarded as
the superior method. I'm not sure how one can tell which method was used,
when shopping for the tubing...

In any case, that's the way i'm going to go...
