Copper or Aluminum....

There seems to be two distinct camps out there...

I prefer copper. I know its more exp, but much better to work with in size.
besides some of us needs to bost the economy.

Cu here, but I will concede that Al is O.K. As I'm sure that you know, the only problem with Al is when you terminate it on a device, or make a joint. Being an inside wireman, to me copper is the only way to go. Just ask a lineman what he thinks, and I'm sure you will get a different story.

Wayne,
When tight bends are needed we use compact USE-AL.....it has a softer jacket and forms very easy, a huge difference from standard USE cable.
We only use AL on residential service entrance or some farm work. Never on commercial or industrial.
