Default Copper or PVC?

My neighbor's got a leak in the hot water line running from the manifold
in her utility room to the kitchen sink. The copper line is in or just
bellow the concrete slab. The plumber has to dig up a substantial
portion of the kitchen floor to replace the corroded line. He's going
to use Copper. Wouldn't it be better to use PVC?


Proper copper will outlast your neighbor, as long as its not buried in
an alkali substrait (or an acidic one as well)
