Best shed for tools - wooden or metal?

    I need to get a garden shed as we are about to start an extension so I have to move all my tools and gear out to it.

    I'm wondering whether a metal or wooden shed would be better for storing power tools in. I've heard of condensation problems with metal sheds but can these be solved by cutting a hole for an air vent?

    I can get a 8x6ft rustic shed from Kelly's barna sheds for €385, or pretty much the same thing from Ballyfree Garden Sheds for €365. I've also come across a metal 8x6ft shed for €470 from this crowd.

    Any advice on which way to go? I don't mind putting preservative on the wooden shed every year, and will be growing plants on the side of either one to help it blend in a bit - do the metal ones tend to stick out more?
