I have about 200 feet of water line to run to my building. There are a
few sharp turns. Would it be better to use pex or pvc?


Also, weather is turning near freezing here and alot of rain. Does
that preclude even using pvc because of glue joints?


Why not plain old black polyethylene? I wouldn't even consider PVC.

My vote too. Use good metal(brass) bits on the ends (unions, pipe
adapter, etc), not plastic.
