I've seen copper used for propane. But on NG systems, the furnaces I've
worked on have had aluminum tubing from the gas valve to the pilot.
Speaking for myself, I prefer black iron. If you have black iron and copper
in the cellar, it is very easy to tell w hich is the water, and which is the
NG.

Most areas wont even allow copper or soldered lines for gas. Gas
causes copper to flake inside and that plugs up controls. Also, flames

Then there are problems with leaky joints;bad news for gas,water is not
such a hazard.
That for real? About 6 years ago, I had a big underground gas tank
installed by the local gas company and they used copper throughout. Of
course, the lawn guy then promptly ran into the house feed and never told
me. Learned about that one went I went out back and smelled gas... That
installation was an accident waiting to happen...
