Is it required that I run rigid conduit inside a building from the meter

Better check your local building codes. In our locale the maximum
allowed distance from meter to service panel is 5' and it must be in
conduit. In any event, the building inspector people can be very
helpful with good ways to do things that meet code requirements. Good
luck.

Very rural area, no codes, no inspections and the power company seems
disinterested. All they want is a meter box to connect to.

What I want is to apply best practices, so I think I will go with rigid
conduit since abuse is unlikely and I don't want to deal with concrete.

Thanks all.
