For practical usage, like EDC, I would prefer polymer. However, as a collector, I fancy good old wood and steel.

Metal.

General shootability, lack of recoil, personal feel, etc.

Glock

Metal for home
Plastic for carry

Execution is more important than material, but if I had to state a preference I'd say metal. They just feel better balanced in the hand to me, but I have plastic framed guns that feel great too. They Steyr M9A1 just feels "right" and I don't think the plastic frame takes anything away from it honestly.
