off topic: pluming a basement with PEX

Almost all of the plumbing in my new old house is galvanized. After reading a little about PEX tubing I've been ambitiously thinking about replacing the galvanized with PEX rather than copper (installation sounds easier than sweating copper and given the price of copper right now, buying the special crimping tool and doing the whole basement PEX seems considerably less expensive).
So, has anyone on the boar done this sort of plumbing in the past? I've heard that PEX is quite reliable (commonly used for 20+ yrs in europe). I've heard that PEX is UV sensitive and am wondering if an exposed basement ceiling installation will be less than reliable?
Any other concerns I should think about? My installation would be pretty typical - hot water heater, appliances, softened water, etc.
