I think extruded is cheaper than cast, but whatever you can find! A drill press is ideal. The McMaster stuff is fine, and you can get the thinnest walled one (if it's an option).

I'm rebuilding the (above) unit out of 1 inch OD tubing, and 3/4 PVC fittings (which will fit nicely into each other).

The above was made from 1 1/2 fittings and 2 inch OD tube, but the fitting's ID was 1 7/8, so it needed a little TLC...

. On the plus side, it clears any and all air in 10 seconds flat.
