Hello, my husband and I run cool room business (well he does I read cards lol) and his opinion is as follows: Metal conducts cold, plastic does not. Therefore if the metal is not sealed properly it will 'frost over'. Also the life of the freezer may be lessened due to the fact metal rusts and plastic does not. Plastic allows longevity of appliance as apposed to metal that will rust. I hope this helps you make up your mind. Personally I would go for the plastic one as you will enjoy a much longer life ...(Answered by harriettpotty)
