I would consider copper, PEX, And CPVC all good materials for repiping a house.

However, Given that you are posting from a frozen northern part of the US I would shy away from CPVC as it suffers terrible damage when it freezes.

If your area has aggressive water conditions I would favor PEX.

IMHO if agressive wate is not a factor copper is the best material but, it also has the highest price tag and would require more wall and ceiling openings than a PEX repipe.
