Bending conduit

Nobody uses BX anymore.

Given the choice between BX and EMT, which would you prefer to run? BX is about twice the cost of Romex, and certainly good enough for just about anything residential. EMT is more expensive than BX and way overkill for residential IMO.

My choices would be romex first then MC cable then pipe.

Yep, this. Sparky i know you know the following, this is for the others. If he is running conduit be it EMT or PVC, THHN/THWN is the only choice, you cannot run BX or Romex or any other multi-conductor assemblies in conduit. You can, but it is not to code.

We used to soap and pull bare wire off of reels into EMT. Limit your bends and your run lengths because there is only so much pulling you can do with a bundle of 12 wire
