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?

This is Turtle.

The choice is your , but here is the way I think.

If you had a Mad Dog out in your front yard and you had to choose between two material of a stick you want to use to go out and beat
the hell out of the mad dog with . Copper or Plastic ?

You can picture my choice.

TURTLE

I would have, might still agree with you.
My personal experience includes a house done in 1978 in plastic with
no problems.
A rental unit in which the plastic elbows were replaced with copper
only to have the copper spring a pinhole that brought down a ceiling.
