Our dock is also wood (cedar, lighter than pressure-treated) and we switched from galvanized steel pipes to heavy aluminum pipes (from RDS dock hardware in Franklin). The aluminum pipes are much easier to handle, and won't rust as the galvanized did.

Regarding pounding the pipes in, we drop a fire nozzle on a garden hose down the pipe to insert the pipes... it works great!
