I agree on the buried EMT. In my house the previous owner ran EMT to the garage and it rusted off right at the ground. I did a service upgrade shortly after moving in and abandoned that run. When I finally got around to digging it out the EMT was just a rust trail in the dirt with very little actually surviving as "tube".

In my area 5/8 galvanized ground rods are popular. Not all that much cheaper than copper, but I guess every penny counts.
