Default Salt Water pool versus Chlorine Pool

We are in the process of considering putting in a pool. Any advice on salt water versus chlorine. I read that salt water can cause problems with oxidation and this can result in birdcage, as well as, motors and surrounding areas becoming coated with white gunk that breaks down. We also read that if the pool was installed as a salt water pool in lieu of changing to a salt water pool from chlorine some of these issues can be avoided. It seems like this type of corrosion takes about 3 years. We originally wanted to go with salt water so as to avoid harsh chemicals. Any advice would be appreciated.
