About to have a new well drilled. In my area (north of detroit, mi) ,
there seems to be a 50/50 mix of steel and pvc wells being drilled.
Anyone have any advice? The well will probabaly be between 100-250
feet, with a 2 or 3 hp pump.

Advice? Call some well drillers and get some free consults and estimates.
Go from there. There may be a well registry in your county, (there is in
mine in KS) then you could talk to other people near you who have drilled
wells and the registry will tell who the driller was also.

I'm no well expert, so I can't help you there. I guess it would all boil
down to geologic conditions and such. Would you want a steel plate or pvc
plate for a bullet proof vest?

I missed the part where he said that somebody would be firing bullets
into his well.

PVC doesn't rust. Steel reacts with the minerals in the water to form a
parcipitate and eventually will cause problems (my pump was clogged with the
gray goo from the gal steel pipe.)

Go with PVC, it's a no-brainer.
