Agree mostly unless it's for something that needs to deal with water in some way.

Not a hard fast rule either. Brass hose fittings are superior to the black plastic ones that will inevitably crack with uv damage over the typical life a hose sees. Plastic plumbing seems worse than copper that can last hundreds of years, and we will probably be reading about some unhealthy side effects from it before long.
