All depends..... Black pipe is notoriously easy to cut and nick. If you want a real mess try locating a small leak on a shallow line. Also, there is no real benefit from freezing if the line is only a few inches deep.
The black polyethylene pipe works great on top of the ground for summer temporary water. I've got some sections that have been in place since 1994 and are just now starting to show some solar degradation. Also, by having it on top of the ground the black pipe absorbs a lot of heat. Generally I havent had severe freezing problems down into the mid 20s with it on the surface.
If I was going to bury it at all, I'd do it correctly. Nothing worse than doing a job once and then getting to do it over again right. My personal bias for here is for glue joint PVC with at least 20 inches of cover on the pipe.
