rain gutters

I'm a little confused on which type of gutter to choose. They just installed copper gutters next door. I asked the installer about PVC gutters and he did not recommend them. I thought they would be the most maintenance free type and would last long. Anyone have comments on PVC gutters, good or bad? Thanks

I had seanless gutters ( white painted alumminum) made for my house..... pvc ends up with too many connectors. How many feet are you going to do.... Copper is vevy costly. I added up all the cost for pvc plus all of the connectors plus the time to install. My gutters were made on site to fit . The longest one was over 45 feet long with no connectors in the middle.

I dont rate seamless gutters, if ever you get a damaged piece then that whole run needs to be replaced, they look real tatty after a couple of years and they are more expensive
