    Well I would go with flexible well piping. Makes putting the pump down the well easier and makes pulling the pump a heck of a lot easier if you have to pull it in the future. More costly but worth it.

    It is also a lot less likely you will drop the pump down the well if you don't have to put the pipe together of cut it apart while its in the well casing.
