Any advantage of dutch lap over traditional lap vinyl siding?
Overall there is little advantage between the two. I would go with the product that looks best for your house. If you use a high quality (40 mill or higher) vinyl siding either will look nice if installed properly. Dutch lap fits tighter at the overlaps due to the extra bend. Often times, traditional lap siding, if "stretched", will cup at the seams, Dutch lap in general is not a prone to this problem as bad. Don't focus this minor problem, just make sure you get a good product and hire a reputable installer and you house will look like new again.

Is steel better than iron?
It depends on what you want to use it for. On the Moh's scale, steel is somewhere between 4 and 4.5, whereas iron is between 6 and 7. In swords, both iron and steel kinds have appeared, but steel is slightly better than iron due to its strength-to-weight ratio and its flexibility. Keep in mind, steel--unlike iron--is made of different metals to improve its strength. For piping, steel would be better (but not the first choice among other materials to use). Steel is also more resistant to rust, than iron, and the weldability of steel is better than iron.
