Use the underground pex underground.  But once above ground use Armaflex insulation and regular pex.  Mine runs underground from boiler then 80 ft Armaflex through the garage and then back under ground to the house then once in the house back to Armaflex.   I used the solid because the split does not stay glued together.

Used a 6" core drill at 45 degrees to go in and out of the garage floor.  Total of 7 holes to heat 3 buildings.  You can't see any lines running to the other buildings.
