Check your local codes. Plastic not allowed in MA. Foil is.
I put something like this in my report.
DRYER VENTING:
: Suggest rigid metal vent pipe (Aluminum or galvanized) for dryer. Vents should not be connected with sheet metal screws.
:Foil aluminum or plastic type not recommended as these can catch lint. Potential fire hazard issue.
: Flexible transition ducts shall not be concealed within construction.
