Yes, for both.
went with the metal as it seems to me the mud will adhere better to metal than the plastic
I try to never use mud in my woodworking. Even my _worst_ joints are tight enough that it is not needed.
one possible con against the metal bead is that it can rust if in a moisture prone environment
hopefully paint would prevent that and probably not a factor here
but one possible downside for metal
looking more closely at this corner bead i am starting to think it is galvanized
guessing that it is hot dipped galvanized
i do recall seeing rusted corner bead but it may have been an old installation
I've seen a fair bit of rusted corner bead - when in a damp area with no paint. The stuff is lightly galvanized - there are also blastic corner beads that won't rust - - -
