Yeah I looked at a other thread and I saw more arguing than anything else haha

I would add the details about the plumbing you are doing to maybe help answer. You could also reach out to a local plumbing shop. Not to come out per say but just to ask the question. The reason is due to building codes and the line type (pressure vs drain).

Water damage and insurance - I would want to make sure it is done right.
 
All purpose cement is made for that type purpose. Oatey makes it, and maybe others but Oatey is the only one i have used.

Oatey Fusion All in One

I’ve used it on ABS and PVC many times with no issue
 
Bulkhead to PVC to gate valve and back to PVC:
