It really depends on how the bucket is being used. If you use a bucket in cooking, for a container, it's better to use plastic as the base because metal has chemicals that are harmful to the human body if we eat it. For an example, eating something that came from metal is equivalent to scrapings of a coin; penny, dime, nickel, quarter, etc.
For toxic wastes, it's better to use a metal container because the metal has a longer time to dissolve than the thin plastic. Basically, anything that would be dangerous to live near should be concealed in a metal container/bucket. However for a food product, the best way to cook is using a plastic or pyrex container.

Why is metal not suitable to make buckets?
There is no way we can claim that plastic is better than metal. We can't say that it is worse either. The point is that without knowing how to compare, we can not claim one or the other. Properties of most types of plastic. 1 Low density. 2 Light weight. 3 Easy to form. 4 Cheap But these properties makes plastic better only if this is what we are after. Plastic is not generally as strong as metal. Plastic is not as durable as metal... although it depends on its use. By combining metal with plastic, we get strength and durability. Just think of a car with paint versus a car without paint.
