You’ll have to weigh up the costs and decide for yourself I guess. Obviously anything metal needs to have the right treatment to ensure it lasts outdoors, pressure treated wood is usually guaranteed for 15 years.
The other option for applying wood preserver is a sprayer, so as long as you could get the spray nozzle behind the shed you could probbaly give it a good blast that way.
Metal will be cold - which may or may not be an issue - unless you’re going to insulate it but it’s always going to be colder than wood with like for like insulation.

Nice one, it's less the time it'll take to re-treat cladding than the fact it'll be inaccessible up against fence panels, but that probably means it'll weather less too and thus last forever.
Oh, the other thing is I wouldn't have to look at the metal sides, only my neighbours would!
