Pex service line to soft copper
 

I bought a pex fitting that can be soldiered to the soft copper that runs
into the house through the slab. I also bought a pex fitting with a
compression fitting for the copper.

Opinions on which to use? I thought compression would be easier, but I want
to use the superior (longer lasting) method. Will the compression fitting
(made of brass) cause galvanic corrosion?

Thanks

And what about a Quest coupler?

Qest is not PEX.

Code calls for flared compression fittings, not standard.
