From a functional point of view it doesn't matter IMO.

If its going to be engineered then best to check with the engineer as IIRC metal is required.

Personally I have plastic and its been fine.

It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.

I'd say the poly is the go. I did one about 4 years ago and it was awesome. At the time I asked around there was a fair amount of different advice floating around.

Won’t be engineered...

A few mates said that the poly is crap coz they get damaged easily & can break?

I think if I manage to break a block I deserve it

I've had red poly (of all things cut down poly boat rollers) on my Rocky for about 10 years now, with absolutely no problems whatsoever. Lift is around 2 1/2 inches.

I'm using Acetal.... which is not brittle, but I'm sure its not all that important.

I'd steer away form the really soft plastics like polyurethane however.
