Kitchen Sink Drain Pipe [View all]

I had to replace a kitchen faucet and of course the drain pipes started leaking. I got them replaced, but I have two questions. Which pipe material is better, plastic or metal? Does one wear down faster than the other? I used a combination of the two to replace the metal and plastic that was there. Also, what about washers? Plastic or Rubber? The old washers were mostly plastic, but there were rubber washers. Is one better than the other?
