Default PVC for air

One alternative not yet mentioned is plumbing with actual air hose.

My buddies large bicycle shop is done that way, as there were enough
funky curves to make it worthwhile. He's got 10-12 outlets tee'd off of
a basement compressor.


Depends on what you want to do with the air. If you're planning on running
some demanding air tools or painting, then this won't work very well. Too
much restriction which results in poor delivery and pressure loss. For a
bike shop that might be ok, but for some of the common tools found in a
shop/garage it wouldn't be a very good solution.
