OK, I know we've beat this horse to death, but I was looking at past
threads and I was not able to find the consensus.

I'm getting ready to plumb the new shop with air lines.  I was thinking of
running a line completely around the top of the shop and have drops from
there.  I'm pretty confortable with how I'm going to run the pipes.

My question is, what type of pipe should I use?

It seems like copper is great and easy, but expensive.
Iron is cheaper but a pain to work with.
PVC is out of the question
there is some new PVC designed for air lines (anyone have a link or
experiance?)

One other question, what size pipe should I use?  Will bigger be better?

Thanks.

(And yes, I've read the stuff at the the TIP site but didn't find answers
to these questions.)
