CPVC will withstand more heat (200 degrees). PVC is good for 140 degrees.
Make sure the PVC isn't exposed to direct sunlight. They say it will dry and become brittle and crack easily. Wrap with insulation. I usually sit a 2"-3" pvc pipe over the 3/4 or 1/2" pipe stuck in the ground and fill it with sand.
Use a primer and good fresh glue. I like to sand the pipe a little with 300 grit first.
I would install a shut off, then make the run , then you can shut it down if you need to do repairs.
Support the pipe so it doesn't sag or remain under stress.
