Supply pipes from indoor unit to outdoor unit got nothing to do with cooling. The build material of condenser and evaporator coils+fins matter the most.
The blue fins that you see in indoor and outdoor unit are due to the coating of anti-corrosive material on copper. But if fins are made from aluminum these do not require any such anti-corrosive coating. Usually coated copper coils are used in condenser and evaporator because of better thermal conductivity.
If there is sewage drain nearby, believe me it will eat away the bare copper in a year or two. Hydrogen sulfide is extremely corrosive gas. If you live near such drain where you could smell the sewage water, then buy AC that got condenser and evaporator coils coated with anti-corrosive material.
