Default Dust collection flex tubing, what's good?

Edwin,
One of the recent wood mags (not sure which one) says PVC is not good
for DC. Just can't remember why not. I know it's easy to just glue up
and you're ready, but I would like to know why PVC won't work.

I was looking at T-7 Santoprene tubing which is
supposed to be good at abrasion and contains a steel wire which I can
ground. It is about $4.50 a foot. Is this a good choice/value?



Rigid PVC for the long runs is a hell of a lot cheaper. Use the flex for
connections and drops to the machines. .
