Well, if the metal trim is usable and fits (which can be the main
issue, as I think they are incompatible (but can't really say without
looking) go with the metal stuff, as the plastic will start to discolour at
the cut edges due to water getting in there and generally get tatty after a
couple of years. Not expensive to replace though.
