    Is this for

    radiant or hydronic use? If so make sure you use barrier pex.

    I've found Wirsbo to be quite supple. Any pex kept in the sun for an hour or so gets much more managable.

    On the other end of the spectrum PAP (pex al pex) is nice to work with if you like forming nice sweeping bends. I believe Kitec offers straight lengths of potable and heating pex.
