the white piping is mainly for indoor applications as far plumbing shit goes but the gray and black pvc is "indoor/outdoor grade" i use the gray and the white type, and i find the gray isnt quite as soft so it wont catch as easily but all pvc is pretty soft so its not that big of a difference. either willl work. i think based on my experiences the gray holds up a little better

Color denotes(demotes?) strength and/or toughness of the pipe. White is thin and more plasicy, good for protecting cables and shit, not for skiing. Black is the opposite, it is significantly harder, and chips instead of taking off shavings, is very thick and is used for plumbing and shit. Grey is kinda the 'happy medium',its plastic-y but thick enought that you can jump on it and it wont collapse. its what we used for our jibs andI is perfect. We tried black but it was too easy to catch edges, and instead of just taking out a chuck of plastic, we would fall. So basically, Grey>black>white

the gray is also hella expencive, i would say just go with the white, just make sure its solid and doesnt have a foam inner layer.  youll be able to tell both by the weight and the look.  if you look at the end of the pipe and see a thin white layer and then a thicker yellowish layer and then another thin white layer than its bad and will break right away.  you want it to be solid white all the way through.  hope this helps

I always use black, because it's what I kind find for free most often in longer lengths
