I have two different plumbing projects coming up this winter: remodel on my son's old farm house, and new install on an upstairs bathroom in my house.
I used PEX on a rental house about six years ago. Within two years I had leaks all over the place. I used the brass fittings and crimps to install it. I finally replaced all of the plumbing with copper and was done with it.
I have not used PEX since. The issue has become cost. Copper pipe has gone sky high. 3/4 x 10 foot pipe is $27.75 each. On the Son's house it will cost $2000 dollars more to use copper. Also on the bathroom in my house there is an old unused heat duct that I could run PEX to the upstairs easily. The cost of the pipe in this case is secondary to installation ease.
