Wood is probably fine and easier to work with but is more of a fire hazard, as well as less resistant to moisture or temperature changes. Be sure to use pressure treated lumber if you go that route.
Good luck, post pics of your progress pls.

i am planning to frame a living area in my walkout basement this winter.
does anyone have experience using metal studs instead of pressure treated lumber?
the basement is dry, so i don't think i need to use metal for moisture...just curious.
also, any advice on moisture barriers (one wall that I plan to finish is cement and 2/3rd under the ground).
