Plastic's warmer (ie. it doesn't suck the heat out of the water as quickly),
steel's stronger. Take your pick! If yours is a family of Teletubbies, I'd
chose steel.
YMMV

I seem to recall an episode of TT where they had a sponge-bath, I don't think
the Tubby Villa has any bathing facilities.
I wouldn't mind one of the sentient vacuum cleaners though.
