What material should I use for the piping in my compressed air system?

Air compressors create the energy used by pneumatic tools and processes throughout your compressed air system. The component that connects everything together is the piping

It is very important to choose the right compressed air pipe to avoid pressure loss, rust and other problems. Below are some of the factors which are important in choosing the right compressed air pipe:

1) Air Flow: Each compressor has a different specification. Pick the one which is appropriate to the capacity mentioned in the specification.
2) Distance between compressor and your equipment: This is crucial as the compressed air out of compressor should reach the equipment without much of a delay or loss.
3) Size: If you can’t decide between two sizes of pipe, always choose the bigger one. Though it will be more expensive, you will have less pressure drop and lower potential for future problems. This can save you money in the long run.
4) Any other special requirements: It is very important to understand the specific requirements else it might lead to other problems. For instance,    
a. if there is oil in your air, some types of plastic piping are not advisable.    
b. if your air is oil-free, steel piping will lead to rust-problems.

SO, WHAT KIND OF PIPING SHOULD I BUY?
