I have a 30,000 Freeform pool and I have to replace the tile and coping. We have a concrete deck around entire pool. I’m looking for advice on type of coping that installs well on a pool with many curves, looks nice, will install well against the concrete deck and is reasonable in cost. At this time I can’t afford to cover the deck in pavers or travertine so the coping must work in concert with the deck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Assuming you have coping bricks or stones now, I would go with poured concrete coping using something like Stegmeier forms. These will allow some pitch variation in the top of the coping if the deck elevation is not level around the pool.
You will need to watch for proper prep, rebar installation, control joints, expansion joints etc. I would want to see similar completed projects in person before having a contractor do this work.
Agree with above as well, pics would help solidify recommendations.
