I am going to be plumbing in my OM this weekend and am wondering what does everyone use to do this? I was thinking of using black tubing instead of Rigid PVC. Anyone have any thoughts? Spa Flex? Which would be best? I am thinking Rigid PVC would be kind of hard because of where I have all the inlets. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. Any pics are always welcomed as well.

i used the flex pvc on mine and did unions on it in case i ever need to take apart to service. so far no need to take apart. i will dig for a few pictures for ya. the main reason i chose the flex pvc was no elbows and least amount of bend to restrict flow
 
i used normal pvc mostly very little flex was used and true ball value unions so i can take section of it a part and close the differnt lines off as needed.
 
I use barbed nipples and heavy duty braid reinforced flex tubing so it does not kink. I also have unions and ball valves for cleaning and maintenance.
