So far, I prefer metal...never had a plastic one

Same here, I have a metal one that came with a box grater. I didn't even know they made plastic varieties.

Metal would be stainless steel and plastic tends to have a love affair (molecular bond) with fats. So I would say go for metal.

Thanks I was leaning towards metal myself. Overall I find all my metal and glass baking/cooking stuff holds up better over repeated use or time but I was wondering if there was some perk or other reason that I should be looking at the plastic types! Oh and thanks for mentioning the whole molecular bond issue plastic might have LOL...would never have thought of it!

i have a cheap plastic one with a curved edge that I got somewhere which is great for scraping soft doughs out of a bowl. For the worksurface I use a metal one.

Are you looking for bowl scraper? This is more for counter, cutting dough.
I bought this one for Dh for his b'day one year. Works great, pops in the dishwasher , doesn't bend or chip. Love it.
