I have a 1.5 inch quick exhaust valve, id had it since i was a youngster, it dumps air the fastest ive ever seen, its just nasty, and its never broken on me, its solid aluminum with a rubber gasket inside, its my favorite, even my 3/4 inch valve has alot of power, i suggest looking for them:)

though question i would say steel is the best material for piping
as for valves I know a few great types
1 qev great for high velocity
2 one way valves are very useful to get the air to go in the right places
3 butterfly valves are the best for trigger
4 psi regulator valves are so useful for controlling power of your shot
5 hammer pin valves are good to increase velocity
6 air intake valves are always needed
