I am building a steel frame home and I am not sure which application would be the best. I have been told pros and cons for both. Any advice?

There are many reasons for using either product. For additional non-biased information on low density and medium density sprayfoam, refer to my article; Learning the Differences Between 1/2 lb and 2 lb SPF. It is available on my website; masonknowles.com

i have sprayed both products in metal framed structures,,,,
i use OC if there is adequate depth to obtain design spec rvalue in the cavity....
i would entertain adding boardstock to the exterior as a sheating to stop the thermal bridge of the metal studs to the exterior...

hope this helps..
