slang/common terminolgy for hrew, dom, etc...

Just finished up my bender built from the plans on ebay, and need to source some tube... what do the guys in the industry call hrew?

just looking to build sliders and bumpers, not looking for dom.

DOM far and away, but you're gonna pay for it.

Dumbish newbie question here...

Can one get DOM, HREW and CREW all in the same OD? Meaning, will one die work for all materials, or does each material come in a slightly different OD?

I know pipe and tube are different for example.

I am guessing 1.75 DOM tube is exactly the same as 1.75 HREW tube, since they are both tube.
