I'd go with the PEX plastic stuff.  It's fairly flexible, easy to 
handle, and supposedly doesn't have the problems associated with some 
older varieties of plastic pipe.  If you have a straight shot between 
joists under the floor, I think you could just shove PEX through, with 
an adequate access hole at either end (which would probably be hidden 
under appliances or cabinetry when you're done.)
