For the water system, search PEX here on the forum, for the drainage system your are on your own.
But pvc would be my choice.

PVC is pretty much the standard for drainage.  Plenty of stuff to choose from at the local building supply store, as with all the rest of the stuff.  Tanks are pretty much standard material as well.  It's pretty much a matter of what size you prefer, can fit and afford.

Don't forget - if you connect PVC to ABS plumbing material to use a transition glue - available at Home Depot and Lowes and several other stores.
