apply some common sense and keep any joints out of the walls and as accessible as possible.

Sounds sensible.
Is the plumbing just for heating?
I pretty much only bury soldered joints - I like to only use compression joints where they’re accessible- I avoid plastic mostly but for fishing through existing structures it is bloody handy.

Plastics better for burying than copper if in screed unless it’s gas.

I don’t get the big thing about plastic being this shit. As long as you use the right materials it’s fine although I do prefer soldering as it looks neater on show.

I don’t think it’s shit, it has its place for sure. It’s definitely quick to fit, I sometimes feel it’s a bit temporary though.
And if you have to use a lot of fittings it can be expensive.
Maybe it’s the feeling of being de-skilled.
