Having owned around 13-14 flatbed GN/5th wheel/bumper pull open flatdeck trailer over the years, I've never owned one with a metal deck. All were treated wood..
One of my current favorite's is a '98 32' GN tandem axle trailer with treated wood. I bought it new and no issues with the wood deck.
Be sure and get a trailer with enough axle/tire capacity to carry your heaviest load. So don't forget the trailers weight on the axles.
My silly neighbor bought a 10K GN trailer to carry his (est) 9000+ lb red tractor. I had him weigh the trailer which was 2880 lbs on the axles which left him with around 12k lbs. Two 5200 lbs axles on the trailer gave him 10400 lbs of load carrying capacity. He took it back and traded for a 16k trailer with tandem 8k axles.
