What kind of pipe is used to hook house water pipes up to the city water meter?
I have a blue flexible hose between the meter and my 3/4 inch galvanized piping to the house.
The blue flex hose is prone to leaks, primarily at the connecting ends.
What kind of pipe should I replace it with, and what kind of adapters should I use?

You should be able to replace the flex pipe with a 3/4" PVC pipe using a threaded 3/4" connector. For a easier installation use a 3/4" union fitting at the meter. You could also install a shutoff valve at the same time.
