Plastic is junk and will eventually degrade from UV or stretch and fail from thermal expansion. Might take a few years but they will fail. I used to have several when I had a place with a big yard and associated upkeep implements (glad I don’t anymore!) and they all swelled, cracked, degraded or otherwise failed after maybe 4-5 years. My metal jerry can was fine.

Don’t even get me started on the “safety nozzles”. I’m all for better safety but they’re just idiotic IMO. Don’t increase safety at all, just inconvenience the user. In fact they probably make things LESS safe and add to spillage as you’re fiddling around trying to get the silly plastic thing go catch the edge of the fill port and not jam, usually dribbling fuel all over as you re-seat it and fight with it a half dozen times...

Anyway, go metal.
