Electrical advice for my shop

Yes you can run MC as far as you want since it has an equipment grounding conductor in it. I don’t even think BX is made any longer.
And the NEC is national code, not just Texas. [emoji6] Of course local AHJ can enforce any local ordinance that is above code minimum.

Now it’s the trade name for flex conduit with wire in it
Home Depot calls it AFC or Armorite
Definitely the easiest quickest and cleanest way to wire to plugs and switches
