Water Line Replacement

It seems that I did not get all of the water out of the main water lines last fall. Found the main 1/2" lines cracked and useless. I am going to replace them but was wondering if there was a "better" line to use instead.
The factory lines are the standard pvc type with glued fittings.

Is there a flex line that could be used?

Hope somebody out there had some experience with this.

Thanks
Vic

I agree, PEX is best. There are a couple of things to watch out for and they're listed on this page:

Pex - Pluses and Minuses

PEX does expand and contract and are much more forgiving as water lines!

Most manufactures now use PEX. A selection of tubing and fittings can be found at Lowes and Home Depot. Try to find a knowledgeable clerk and talk to them.
