I love conduit, but it will be easily seen on the side the house, does
not blend in as well, etc.
If you can put in 1" or 3/4" electrical PVC, and a few pull boxes, it
will work easily.
You can use a shop vac to pull in your pull string.
Long term, conduit is the way to go, but it's more $, and harder to
blend in.
