Given the choice, I love pex and those compression-bands that you put on with the special pliers. Pex got flex.

For drains, pvc of course.

Given run-of-the-mill refurbby waterline junk with plain ol copper, I like that brass kind of compression with the little sleeve.

Don't trust sharkbite. Am a mediocre sweater.

For gas, threaded with that pipe goo works surprisingly well. Haven't fucked it up yet.

I wonder if you can use pex with gas

You do your own gas work? I'm in the UK and I'm pretty sure you basically cannot legally touch gas fittings unless you're a qualified plumber.

Welcome to the states, we have no laws here. I helped my dad replace our gas lines as a child. I ran the rigid pipe lathe.

Agreed on the compression fittings over the sharkbite stuff.
