Both types have advantages and disadvantages to the end user. Metal frames - more weight (less felt recoil), possibly more durability (not proved), more damage resistant (again, not proved), etc. Plastic frames - lighter (CC advantage), lower cost generally, better weather resistance, better resistance to sweat while carrying, etc.
I think it more important to be concerned about the overall quality and soundness of the pistol in question, rather than focusing on the grip frame material. I like both - but if absolutely put to it in a hypothetical preference - I'd pick metal. However, I would NOT choose a gun (over another) JUST because of the frame material.
For CC, I must say that I DO like the weather and sweat resistance of a polymer framed gun. That means a good bit to me - more than I thought it would.
