There's been a bit of talk here about wood vs. steel framing. There are pros and cons for each, that's for sure. Here's one thing to keep in mind:

one of the down sides of using steel in insulated walls with gypsum, is that it only takes 1/100 as much water retention to cause problems (mold, rot, etc) as it does with masonry; wood studs and wood paneling is in between in the amount of moisture that can be retained without problems. (Source)
Intersting Info. Of course the price of steel verses wood is so insignificant with steel costing a few pennies more in my neck 'o' the woods I used wood. :)
