Conduit is definitely a Good Thing.  The gophers around here go through
anything unprotected in very short order and they seem to love the taste
of wire insulation.

If I ran copper I would definitely shield it and use MOVs and lightning
arrestors beyond what's required for code.  Wireless is another
possibility, there are surrounding hills but I have LOS to most of the
neighborhood.
