Hamsters and similar little creatures are chewers and plastic doesn't stop them.  Both types of wheels can pose problems. Their tiny feet can get caught and injured if the wheels have spokes. Plastic wheels can be chewed. Whichever you decide upon, check the cage often to make sure all is well. Chances are you'll be hearing them play with the wheel at night when they are up.
