Metal stems don’t flex during rotation, which provides a more stable platform when using TPMS sensors.
Some TPMS manufacturers recommend metal stems for that reason.
Metal stems have a higher pressure rating than some rubber stems.
Flow through sensors make it possible to add air without removing the sensors.
Metal stems have not had a corrosion issue in my experience living near the Sierra where salt is used on the roads during the winter months. Of course, I tend to wash the underside of my vehicles fairly frequently during the winter months.
YMMV on any or all all of the above...
