Pex doesn't burst but it's 100% more likely to be penetrated by an errant nail or screw if it's not shielded properly.
I know a guy who had to tear a whole bathroom apart to find a leak that turned out to be caused by a siding nail going through a pex line. of course they didn't think to start from the outside (who would?) Copper will only penetrate with a direct hit.
All I really got. Of the two I like Pex if in colder climates, and adding on long runs, other than that I use copper.

Guy at my church has a lot of problems with it, but they come from two sources: nails/splinters and pressure.
