"Whats wrong with plastic boxes..both the gray type and the Carlon

For starters when plastic boxes crack you have to remove the sheet
rock around them to replace them. Metal boxes don't crack like plastic
ones do. If you strip the thread in a metal box you can retread it
without having to remove it. If you are in it for the long run
plastic boxes aren't the way to go.

Also, plastic boxes have less potential than metal boxes/rings. The (grounded)box and ring's higher potential means less risk.
