Hard to answer without getting long winded about it. I am set up to deal with pex and use it for most every plumbing job other than drains. PVC requires no tools and is cheap. Pex is a better set up IMO but requires either a tooling investment or expensive fittings. Which is right for you depends on if plumbing projects are going to be a regular part of your future? The quick, easy and tool less sharkbite type fittings are available under several brand names but they are very expensive for projects that require lots of them. Crimp type fittings are much cheaper but require tooling to set them and space considerations may prevent you from getting the crimp toll where it needs to be. There is also two types of compression fittings My preference is the compression ring but they require a tool for each size or a combo tool. Pinch clamps are more spendy but you only need one tool. There are all sorts of adapters to go from one product to another. Around us a person will USUALLY find a knowledgeable person in the plumbing section of the big box store, usually an old guy.
Your leaking fitting cannot be soldered if water remains in the pipe. Personally I never had much luck re soldering a leaking fitting in place anyway. Heat it up until the fitting can be removed, then clean it up and re soldered it.

He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
