Default Pex or Copper

Hi there, new house with PEX plumbing.
What do you all think of this type of plumbing?
How about bacterial growth into it after some time?
Any specific maintnance?

I had a house with the plastic stuff, circa 1999.
Max pressure was 40 psi, I think it is higher now. You will need a pressure
regulator.
Any monkey can install it with the right tools and 10 minutes of
instruction. I have heard the tool is not exactly what a home owner want to
buy.

As long as the 40 psi was the limit I would not be interested.
