Over the long haul. the plastic will hold up better-patricularly if the tank is under the deck. They don't corrode and leak like aluminum. I believe the industry is all switching over to plastic for applications where the tank is likely to stay wet. Saltwater especially.

Thanks for the information.I have a metal tamk now and I've emptied and cleaned out the rust twice in 6 months.
