There's an old saying, "Different strokes for different folks" so I suppose that also applies to battery boxes and they make all types to keep most people happy.... That said, I've always been extremely reluctant to use a metal battery box with wet cell batteries. The acid has a way of getting next to the metal and corroding the box, no matter how hard you try to keep it clean and painted.
NOCO and Century Plastics both make plastic boxes that are "doggone near as theft proof" and significantly more resistant to corrosion, not to mention what dropping a sway bar or WD bar on a metal box will do to the looks.
If it were me (easy to spend your money, eh?) I'd look at some of the non-metal options and see if they might give you the same security, better damage resistance and I already know they are significantly cheaper than any metal battery box.
