Cause of cost. Depends on just how much power you need. I just finished one that needed 50amps at 24O volts. Was able to use #8 thwn and #10 ground in 3/4 linerless sealtite conduit.
There are different versions of "armored cable". The key differences between BX and MC cable are the use of the armor as a ground path, the material used as protective sheathing, and the fact that MC can - when specified for damp locations - be used outdoors, but BX/AC cannot
You can't bury a j box underground. What are you doing?
❤how do you get the power from your main fused board😊
Why not just run steel wire armored cable? Cheaper and faster.

Can't use armored cable in damp or wet locations. Think it's alway bone dry in that trench? And what about soil conditions that may be corrosive.
Of course you can use armored cable in damp or wet locations. It's literally designed for exactly that purpose.
