My solution:

Buy braided rubber lines ( for hot water) as they have brass
connections. Easy to install and forget using the copper lines.

After years of use, there are no leaks, corrosions or any signs of

whats wrong with regular copper lines? takes a little longer but much
better job


The biggest problem is that it takes a little longer. And copper is not very
flexible which might be of concern in earthquake-prone areas. And, with
copper, you need a greater variety of tools and more skill than "Does you
hand fit a wrench?"
