Copper isn't allowed? weird.

We're talking Waste line here. Copper is not an issue, PVC is.
Whoa! Copper was a *big* contender for the DWV market from the late 40's thru the 60's/70's.
The arrival of PVC in DWV form finally killed it off.

I know, soldered copper seems to be somewhat common in this area. Seems like the best all around to me although I'm sure it's not cheap.
