If you're paying a plumber then yeah, go with sweat fittings, but Shark Bite fittings work great in accessible areas for the do-it-yourself-er. I have Shark Bite fittings that are going on 40 years now with no problem.
Concur. If you use a plumber the joints should be sweated, but as a DIYer, Sharkbite works fantastic. I have done both with equal success.
I am not a plumber and I sweat my fittings
Its not hard to do
