Wood or metal swing set – which lasts longer?

Across the reviewers we read, the split is real: cedar wooden sets look better in the yard and offer clubhouses and slides, but verified-purchase and r/homeowners commenters consistently report needing to re-stain or oil the wood yearly and bring swings inside for winter to hit a 10+ year lifespan. Heavy-gauge powder-coated metal A-frames (Backyard Discovery Big Brutus, Lifetime, Sportspower) get praised on r/BuyItForLife for surviving with almost no maintenance, but offer less play variety.
