Choose your poison, lol. If you're worried about small amounts of leeching both are probably pretty nasty. I don't think you'll have any issues. Some people freak out at using PVC, but I think they're paranoid.

What i mean by leaching (spelled it wrong last time) is toxic chemicals absorbing into your nutrient solution. i ised a shitload of epoxy, and my stuff is going great.

As long as the materials/resins/silicone you use is for drinking water applications, it is fine for hydroponics. I have used PVC in hydro for ages.
