Any problems with copper flex and coolant?

I want to relocate the coolant line that runs under the exhaust manifold between the heater core and water pump. Is it ok to use flex copper tubing, 1/2" or 5/8", or is there a reason to use steel like the stock tubing? Will copper cause future problems that I am not thinking of, such as electrolysis type decay?

Any ideas are welcomed.
