Something mentioned only briefly is the benefit of PEX plumbing. I have toured a few properties with all copper cut out of the basement. Not an issue with pex. Materials are cheap and labor is faster. Freeze resistance is better than copper. If you use the central manifold approach you eliminate all joints from behind walls/under floors so leak detection/repair is less costly. I buy foreclosures and often have busted pipes from lack of winterization. Always better to do full pex than patch some type M copper timebomb. Also, replace old galvanized as you’re able. Some insurance companies exclude it.
