I went through the same "what to use" exercise two years ago for my shop. Of course all the naysayers advise strongly against PVC.
My final choice was PEX--the regular stuff because it was available at the local building supply superstore along with all the fittings I needed.

Since I am in central Texas, sometimes it gets hot up there near the roof where I ran a line overhead to the opposite side of the shop.

I did find that the PEX that is used for heated floors, etc. is actually rated for air service. Good luck on your choice.
