Every type of pipe has it's advantages. However newer technology typically has improvements along with it.
1 Copper pipe - oldest and still viable
2 Steel pipe - Used to be cheaper than copper, and it rigid. Makes a good self supporting installation like a yard faucet.
3 PVC - Cheap but durable if supported and kept out of the sunlight and never freezes. CPVC is for hot water and sizes don't mix.
4 PEX - Newest and freeze proof. Mice will chew through it and make a leak. Never had mice chew PVC, Steel, or Copper.
You don't need MAPP gas to repair copper. It has to be so clean you can use propane or you'll not get a good repair. Experts, who know what to look for, and have made many repairs, can fudge with MAPP gas on occasion but it is not for the novice.
PEX use crimp connectors as recommended. The price of Shark Bite makes them suitable for use at change of materials.
Old steel pipe in a farmhouse on well water will likely be mostly plugged, and if it is leaking one place you'll probably find messing with it makes it leak at the next joint.
