Metal remove the screws and a whole 36" x 8' (etc) panel can be removed.

Seems like a PITA having to cut the metal for your electrical boxes for switches/outlets.

Actually it's not that bad, screw gun with a step drill bit and a pair of tin snips. Most of my shop is done this way outlet every 8', care has to be taken that you outlet doesn't land on a rib. Finish off with industrial metal outlet covers.
Conduit works well if you are ok with the industrial look, I have both surface mount and conduit in my shop. Surface mount on all the original wiring and conduit on my lift, welder, lathe, etc.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
