Copper Pipes Removed and Scrapped

I took all the copper pipes from the house (they didn't look anything like this picture) to the local scrap yard in fear of a thief getting to them first. I managed to have over 400 pounds of copper and received over $1000 in cash! Well at least that covers the cost a few of the dumpsters. I can't imagine what all new copper would cost now, but I am definitely using PVC for drains and leaning towards using PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) for the water lines. Any thoughts regarding PEX?
