I'm a real fan of Pex (I'm licensed to install it so am very familiar with it ). Although nothing is 'freeze proof', Pex is the closest thing you'll find to it in H20 systems. The fittings certainly won't survive freezing but the pipe will. You'll use fewer fittings in the installation which are the Achilles heal of any system. If you use an expandable tool the fittings are very reasonable and the best connection you can get. The tools come up used on EBay frequently for reasonable amounts ( bought a pair of the tools with dies for $75 on CL). There are different types of Pex, 'A' being the easiest to bend and if you do kink it a heat gun will remove the kink. Here's one of the tools listed now:

Just my thoughts, Hal
