No plastic is ever as good as copper. All plastics dry out over time.

A builder I know is offering a choice of plastic or copper plumbing in
new home construction. He recommends plastic as he says it is
quieter. He charges the same for either one. Anything else to
consider?

if there is no difference in price then copper, have them insulate the hot
water pipes. It will save you money in the long run.

Good luck with your builder, I hope it is not KB
I just told them to stuff it and bought another home.
