Steel or Poly Tank?

Upgrading the PO's 12 gallon tank to the capacity it should be with a new one. Do I go Poly or Steel, they are the exact same price.
Thanks in advance,
-Tim

Who?

Who sells the steel ones? Previous owner worked in a shipyard and had access to lots of steel. I have a 41 gal tank in mine right now, thinking of going the stock route.

GMCPauls sells them and so does a whole slew of other places, I just did a google search. Seems like most of them are 21 gallons.

go with a steel tank, they reproduce the O.E. ones that are nice. I got a poly one but I don't kick myself for it.
