[QUOTE="lunkerslayer, post: 77125, member: 217"] One thing about steel is no mold and most foundations are poured concrete. You can uses a hot knife to cut out the back or front of foam to allow for pipe or electrical. Steel stud is more spendy but will last longer, also comes in many different lengths and shapes. That is why commercial builders use steel because of the flexibility of steel. Also you can buy plastic grommets to use in the slots where romex can be used. Also the use of pex pipe is much easier to connect. Steel =no mold, half the time to install verses wood. I have constructed walls with both and would use steel in my own remodeling project.
