Iron is prone to rust more quickly, which means it will need removing and reinstalling more frequently than other options. It’s also heavier than both.

If your priority is strength, durability, and a finish that will last long-term while withstanding far more damage. Aesthetic also plays a role in the decision, as all three create a distinctive look.
