Depending on how it needs to be installed between buildings, there may
not be much cost difference between fiber and copper, especially if you
need multiple circuits. Fiber is not really expensive and you can get a
lot of strands in a small cable. Just be sure to run more strands than
you "need."

My initial response is fiber, due to distances. However, you might be
able to get away with something less costly depending on
requirements. What speed? 10, 100, 1000, 10G... There are lots of
Ethernet extenders that can give you speeds to 100 Mbps over coax,
copper,... just Google it and you will find plenty. We have used
these when fiber is not an option. However, make sure you take
grounding between buildings into account as well with stuff like
coax/copper. If you can afford it fiber is your best option.

I have a special job to do.
I need to connect 4 sites together in a line and provide Ethernet
connectivity between them. I may NOT use wireless to do this.
I can run overhead cable of most any type I need to. Coax, cat3 or
cat5, or even fiber if the price is right...
Site 1 to site 2 is 700 ft. Site 2 to site 3 is 900 ft. Site 3 to
site 4 is 2400 ft.
Looking for options...
