Default Ground rod or water pipe?

Hello

I have my shack on the second floor, about 8 meters above ground. I am going
to use a dipole antenna for 20M
Should I use the water pipe system as ground, or should I use a thick wire
on the housewall down to a ground rod?
I fear that the wire down to the ground rod may emit unwanted RF (have read
that somewhere).


Regards
Ruben
