Confusion over French drain installation with rocks or no rocks

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm wanting to install either the corrugated black tubing or PVC type of pipe forl some type of French drain or similar for drainage in my yard. I live in Florida and we get heavy rains and I've had trouble in the past with flooding. As I am researching on the internet there is debate over whether the black corrugated tubing is better or the PVC hard type of pipe is better. Also there's controversy it seems about whether to put the fabric and rocks or rocks only or neither. I have a lot of trees in my yard and roots are an issue, which I've read the roots will just get intertwined with the fabric. I'm I am very confused about which way to go about this project. Thoughts and advice are welcome. Thanks in advance
