is fine for "water only", but I would use not less than Type L for longevity.
Condensate carries particulates as you know and those are abrasive over time, especially with stop-start pumps. The fittings take the brunt of this of course and at least those are heavier wall wrought copper. But the walls do get a polishing too.
