Personally, I have never like metal studs; one reason is that the outlets eventually become loose.
I have heard others say negative things about wood such as in a fire or regarding termites, but wood wins no matter what.
If you have a fire, the house will still burn and if termites are a possibility, no matter what -- you will still get them!
If you have a choice -- go with wood!

Mrs Robinson I have four loose outlets that support your conclusion.
We purchased in 2006 and it was use it or lose it. Use the opportunity to buy or will sell it to the next couple in line.
consequently I didn't even know they used metal studs until I hit one one day
I wish I hd the option to build to my specs back then
