I went from copper to Pex this year in a home we bought a couple of years ago. I have been a tried and true copper user for years. With that being said I needed to re plumb our entire home, low PH had taken it`s toll on our 27 year old plumbing. With the price of copper and the ease/Price of Pex systems I went with Pex in this particular application. I was amazed at how quick this was as apposed to copper. Clean is what comes to mind. But now I am reading some literature about Pex having failures with their product ( Fittings ) . So my question here is this. Should I now be worried about my choice with the Pex Plumbing system? My PH problem has been fixed with a Neutralizer/conditioner filtration system.
Pex ????

Depends on the PEX you used, but most likely no worries. Articles about failures were mostly about companies that had since fixed these fitting issues.
You used a specific system. Why don't you mention the one you used instead of asking about general pex issues?
Zurn has had issues in the past. If you do a simple search using your brand name you will get a few thousand hits to see if yours is mentioned.
This might have been a good idea to do before you did the job so you could avoid problematic companies.
