Should I replace my main water line pipe with plastic (black well pipe) or with a copper?
Use the plastic, the copper costs more and it does breakdown with time.
Plastic, in addition to the other answers, copper and the lead based solder used with it's installation is found to be hazardous to health in drinking water.
When you find out the price of the copper it might make up your mind for you. The guy who did my new well used a type of plastic pipe that is blue, very heavy duty.
