  I vote for the much more inexpensive black Poly pipe, frequently 
used to irrigate. the smooth flexible tubing is low in fraction and 
makes the bends slowly without any fittings.
 (the use of direct burial coax such as Times UDF-400 or such is 
recommended because of the polyethylene jacked, vinyl jacketed coax 
should never be used outside of the buildings)
  With this cheaper tubing you can bury 1" or 1 1/2" much cheaper 
than 3/4" of PVC.

      I upgraded to LINUX, the more I use it, the more I love it.
        It doesn't do everything for you, you must program it.
