Default Wood and Steel stand owners

So I am building a ~187G peninsula style tank in our main floor to divide the living and dining room. The sump will likely be in the basement below. What is everyones take on wood vs steel?

I know Steel is more $$ but can rust

Wood is cheaper but some tell me it can bow overtime?

I have seen many very well built stands with 2x4 and 2x6. I was thinking something like this: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...readid=1169964

Please share your experience if you own steel or stand and what you like/dislike of each.
