If you're going to run a metallic raceway (pipe) why would you bother with Romex? Run THHN or TFFN - it's easier to pull through the pipe.

As for differences between copper pipe and EMT - I was unaware of any copper pipe option rated for use as an electrical raceway. It's all for plumbing as far as I know. I'd recommend sticking with UL approved stuff in this case. The EMT may actually have some permeable material in it. as well, which might make it better at shielding the wire within.
