Soft on a roll is K copper, if memory serves.

Me, I'd want the rigid stuff with the thicker wall.

Rigid is not approved for underground as far as I know. Could be wrong

Personally, I went with the heavier copper just for the extra life it
might give

That is the type M, right?


I'm not sure which type is which, but you'll want the 3/4" soft variety
for this application. It comes on a roll.
