Sharkbites will work good but they may not be the best choice for permanent repair, although they most likely will outlast the rest of the plumbing. If you do any cutting your pipes will get shorter, and even a half inch can cause strain somewhere else.

Well copper is good for a century then. one would assume the house has been sold by then.
I had my basement re plumbed (100 year old house) a few years ago and they run that pvc line (as it is'nt really pipe) all over the place, it saves a ton of money but I cannot see it still being good in 50 years.
