Guys, I'm trying to decide which to use for my basement remodel. Metal or wood framing. Nothing especially heavy to be hung on the walls and no water issues.

Question two, if I do use wood framing is there a need for a double top plate on my framed walls? Thanks in advance for any help.

I go with wood, pressure treated bottom plate, single plate on top and add fire blocking.

I use wood for walls also. Metal for soffit work.
