mdpe v copper ?

for internal use - radiators - should i be using this mdpe stuff or stick to copper that I know and trust ?
I can see that something flexible is good and I assume it insulates itself, but is it reliable ?
thanks

Can't use mdpe for heating end of story.
You can use polyethylene barrier pipe, "Speedfit" Hep 2°, and others.
Personally I will stick with the copper and steel
