PVC vs Polyethylene pipe for irrigation

I am debating on using shedule 40 PVC or Polyethylene tube for a 60 psi irrigation system. We have some cold freezing winters but I will be blowing out the sytem so I don't know if PVC is just as good as Poly in this case. I also have a couple of 300 ft runs which I could probably run faster with Poly but I want the plumbing to last. Is shedule 40 PVC longer lasting than poly overall even in cold weather? Does poly have any problems with loosening up at the hose barb?
