For an open trailer, a wood deck will last many years and has some advantages to a steel deck. For what you're using it for, flip a coin and get what you prefer. Neither will be heads or tails better or worse overall, but you may be replacing boards 5-10-15 years down the road.
A good coat of stain or penetrating sealer goes a long ways too.
Steel deck advantage, IMO is really if there is more use/abuse to the deck, it'll hold together longer than a wood deck, but for homeowner use hauling small equipment around, you won't put that amount of wear n tear on it.
