ID is Inside Diameter, OD is Outside Diameter. (For example, a ringer has an ID of 13 inches.)
My former team (1293) used metal spacers (of unknown origin) on the kit frame at the axles and PVC at the output shaft of the older kit transmissions*. Really, I didn't notice any particular advantage of one over the other. The metal tube we used was smaller and probably lighter than PVC, but PVC's cheaper and leaps and bounds easier to cut. Basically, use whatever's handier for you.
*I'm not sure what the recommended practice is for this year's transmissions.
