I wonder about using PEX for this purpose too. I have not read anything that suggests that PEX would not work OK, but maybe PEX is too new in this country for people to have long term experience.
I have a 1 inch copper air line running around the perimeter of my garage. It is sloped so the condensed moisture runs into a sump that is easily drained.

Unfortunately copper has become awfully expensive. I am thinking about building another pole building and would like to have air lines in it. I bet they will end up being PEX, since PEX is SO much less expensive than copper.
