[VAL] PEX plumbing



I have to re-plumb part of my 67 TW, and may do it all with PEX.  It
seems that there are several brands.  Qest is available in the local
store and others on the internet.  I would like to run different
connections from a manifold.  Your opinions on which band to use would
be helpful.  Easy of use and long-term reliability are bigger issues
than cost.
 
I'm leaning toward PEX because I don't see how I could get copper around
the bends without removing showers and cabinets, and I have read that it
is a little more tolerant to freezing.
 
Best Regards,
   Jim
